All Implemented Interfaces:: AgentConstants, EnvironmentConstants, java.io.Serializable

public abstract class ExperimentOptimization<ROOT extends Agent>
extends ExperimentMultipleRuns<ROOT>

Experiment used to search for optimal solutions. Uses OptQuest optimizer. To use this experiment you need to subclass from it and define the methods setupRootParameters(Agent, boolean) which needs to retrieve the parameter values suggested by OptQuest and Experiment.onEngineFinished() to set the objective according to simulation output.
