public interface IterativeAlgorithm

The IterativeAlgorithm interface defines the functionality of a algorithm that works through multiple iteration steps in order to perform its computation. It can add listeners to the algorithm that are notified at the beginning/end of the algorithm and the beginning/end of each step of the algorithm.

Since:

2.0
