Class OpponentPoolSelectionStrategy

java.lang.Object
  net.sourceforge.cilib.coevolution.selection.OpponentPoolSelectionStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

SelectAllSolutionsPoolSelectionStrategy, SelectHOFPoolSelectionStrategy, SelectpBestSolutionsPoolSelectionStrategy

public abstract class OpponentPoolSelectionStrategy
extends Object
implements Cloneable

This strategy is used to select the pool of potential opponents for a competitive coevolution algorithm. When opponents is selected for an Entity the algorithm uses an arbitrary number of OpponentPoolSelectionStrategy's to determine the potentail pool of competitors, then they are selected with the OpponentSelectionStrategy
