Package net.sourceforge.cilib.problem.changestrategy Description

Dynamic environments need to know when it should be applicable to change the problem.

Various strategies exist to do this, but for CIlib the simple process to enable this is to implement the ChangeStrategy and attach it to the problem.

ChangeStrategy classes implement a simple boolean function which determines if a change should occur or not.

ChangeStrategy classes are used as follows:

 if (changeStrategy.shouldApply(problem))
     problem.changeEnvironment();
