setup

public void setup(EvolutionState state,
                  Parameter base)

constructSolution

public ConstructiveIndividual constructSolution(EvolutionState state,
                                                ConstructiveIndividual ind,
                                                PheromoneTable pheromones,
                                                int thread)

Constructs a solution by greedily adding the lowest-desirability component at each step until a complete solution is formed. The pheromone matrix argument is ignored, and may be null.
