public AbstractGeneticDiscoveryHandler()

Method Detail

getNumBits

public abstract int getNumBits()

Returns the number of required bits.

Returns:

the number of bits

doPack

protected abstract String doPack(PropertyPath.PropertyContainer cont)

Returns the packed bits for the genetic algorithm.

Parameters:

cont - the container to obtain the value from to turn into a string

Returns:

the bits

pack

public String pack(PropertyPath.PropertyContainer cont)

Returns the packed bits for the genetic algorithm.

Parameters:

cont - the container to obtain the value from to turn into a string

Returns:

the bits

doUnpack

protected abstract void doUnpack(PropertyPath.PropertyContainer cont,
                                 String bits)

Unpacks and applies the bits from the genetic algorithm.

Parameters:

cont - the container to set the value for created from the string

bits - the bits to use

unpack

public void unpack(PropertyPath.PropertyContainer cont,
                   String bits)

Unpacks and applies the bits from the genetic algorithm.

Parameters:

cont - the container to set the value for created from the string

bits - the bits to use

requiresInitialization

public boolean requiresInitialization()

Returns whether the handler requires an initialization.
Default implementation returns false.

Returns:

true if necessary

performInitialization

public void performInitialization(AbstractGeneticAlgorithm owner,
                                  PropertyPath.PropertyContainer cont)

Gets called for performing the initialization.
Default implementation does nothing.

Parameters:

owner - the owning algorithm

cont - the property container to update
