Returns:

Experiment

returnFailedExperimentToPool

public void returnFailedExperimentToPool(Experiment e)

If a remote Experiment Agent fails to complete an experiment, it must be put back on the queue to be re-assigned

Parameters:

e - - failed experiment

finishedExperiment

public void finishedExperiment(Experiment e)
                        throws ExperimentNotRunException

When an agent finishes an experiment, experiment stats are updated. If all experiments for an epcoh are complete an evolution cycle is initiated.

                throws InitialisationFailedException

Intialises the server environment

Specified by:

initialise in interface AIController

Throws:

InitialisationFailedException - if environment creation fails
