A ControlParameter is a generalised parameter type within CIlib.
Algorithms require parameters in order to alter and configure the manner in which they operate. These parameters could represent the number of Individuals within a Genetic Algorithm, or even the degree of mutation which decreases over time as the Algorithm runs to completion.
ControlParameter instances provide a standard interface for these parameter types, which can be updated over the course of an algorithm run.
Substituting differing ControlParameter instances, therefore, results in a simple modification to the desired Algorithm without any code changes.
