[cilib-devel] Mutation and additional parameters in Individuals

[Gary P. <gpa...@gm...>]

Hi all,

We are currently completing the framework changes to enable generic EP and ES. 
There are a few small issues that we are currently having for the 
implementation.

In the process of making theses changes, we have also made the various 
initialization classes generic (which removes quite a bit of code). The 
questions that I have are:

1. Where should the definition of the initialization for these extra parameters 
be placed? On the individual? In the EC algorithm? Within the 
IterationStrategy?

2. How should mutation be handled? Should the strategies know to inspect the 
individual for strategy parameters? Should the mutation rather be done in a 
separate class?

Regards,
Gary
