Re: [cilib-devel] ControlParamters - too restrictive?

[Theuns C. <the...@gm...>]

Hi all,

More control parameters that have ranges (bounds):

 - Oscillating (oscillates from lower bound to upper bound and back to
lower bound, repeat)
 - Wrapping (moves from lower bound to upper bound, wrap back to lower
bound, repeat)

These are especially useful for dynamic environments.

Regards
