/**
 * The Algorithm package provides the generic algorithm foundation
 * for all {@link Algorithm} instances.
 *
 * All {@link Algorithm}s are defined to execute as a separate thread within
 * the Java VM. The the contained components within the algorithm class are
 * pluggable, resulting in each algorithm providing a generic skeleton that is
 * filled in during construction of the algorithm instance.
 *
 * 
 * The algorithms can be classified into 3 distinct categories:
 * 
 * 
 *   {@linkplain net.sourceforge.cilib.algorithm.SingularAlgorithm Singular Algorithms}
 *   {@linkplain net.sourceforge.cilib.algorithm.population.SinglePopulationBasedAlgorithm Single Population Based Algorithms}
 *   {@linkplain net.sourceforge.cilib.algorithm.population.MultiPopulationBasedAlgorithm Multi Population Based Algorithms}
 * 
 *
 * 
 * Please refer to the individual algorithm classes for more information
 * on what properties are exposed and for what is available.
