public interface BaseLevelAlgorithm<S extends org.uma.jmetal.solution.Solution<?>>

Interface representing a configurable evolutionary algorithm.

An BaseLevelAlgorithm defines the contract for evolutionary algorithms that can be configured via a ParameterSpace, instantiated for a specific problem, and built into a ready-to-run Algorithm instance.

Typical usage involves:

• Accessing and configuring the parameter space.
• Parsing command-line arguments or other configuration sources.
• Creating an instance for a specific problem and evaluation budget.
• Building the algorithm and running it.

Method Summary
