public interface Acceptor
extends LocalSearchSolverPhaseLifecycleListener

Method Detail

calculateAcceptChance

double calculateAcceptChance(MoveScope moveScope)

TODO the use for an acceptChance between 0.0 and 1.0 is unproven. A boolean instead of a double is sufficient?

Parameters:

moveScope - not null

Returns:

never negative; if rejected 0.0; if accepted higher than 0.0 (usually 1.0)
