public interface Parameter<Value>

A Parameter aims at describing the Value of a specific property, typically of an Algorithm, such that changing this Value would affect its behavior. As such, the Parameter allows to retrieve the current Value through get() and change it through set(Object). It is also identified through its name (#getName()) and further detailed through its description ( #getDescription()).
