Multistart metaheuristics involve periodically restarting the metaheuristic
from a new initial starting solution (often random). Although it is common
for such restarts to have a common run length, there do exist other restart
schedules that vary the run length from one run to the next in some way.
This interface defines the functionality of a restart schedule.

Method Summary
Modifier and TypeMethodDescriptionint
Gets the next run length in the restart schedule's sequence of run lengths.void
reset()
Resets the restart schedule to its initial conditions, such that the next call tonextRunLength()
will return the initial run length of the schedule.Methods inherited from interface org.cicirello.search.concurrent.Splittable
