Class StandardSelection

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.cpsolver.studentsct.heuristics.selection.StandardSelection

All Implemented Interfaces:

NeighbourSelection

public class StandardSelection
extends Object
implements NeighbourSelection

Use the provided variable and value selection for some time. The provided variable and value selection is used for the number of iterations equal to the number of all variables in the problem. If a complete solution is found, the neighbour selection is stopped (it returns null).

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Comment
Neighbour.StandardIterations	Long	Number of iterations to perform. If -1, number of iterations is set to the number of unassigned variables.

valueSelection - value selection

Method Detail

init

public void init(Solver solver)

Initialization

Specified by:

init in interface NeighbourSelection

selectNeighbour

public Neighbour selectNeighbour(Solution solution)

Employ the provided VariableSelection and ValueSelection and return the selected value as SimpleNeighbour. The selection is stopped (null is returned) after the number of iterations equal to the number of variables in the problem or when a complete solution is found.

Specified by:

selectNeighbour in interface NeighbourSelection

Parameters:

solution - given solution

Returns:

a neighbour assignment
