Method Detail

initialiseMediator

public boolean initialiseMediator(TestSpec testSpec,
                                  ProblemMediator probMediator)
                           throws java.lang.Exception

Create or initialise the original problem and solution values.

Specified by:

initialiseMediator in class Evaluator

Parameters:

testSpec - the specification describing the tests to run.

probMediator - the model of the problem with all required elements.

Returns:

true if initialised OK, false otherwise.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - any error.

evaluateSolutions

public boolean evaluateSolutions(TestSpec testSpec,
                                 ProblemMediatorCentral probMediator)
                          throws java.lang.Exception

Run a set of tests based on the test specification.

Specified by:

evaluateSolutions in class EvaluatorCentral

Parameters:

testSpec - the specification describing the tests to run.

probMediator - the model of the problem with all required elements.

Returns:

true if the current test results are better than the previous set.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - any error.
