Alife:The first confusion comes from the use of terminology #110

Open mariosky opened 8 years ago

The first confusion comes from the use of terminology. The authors seem to mix up the use of "experiment" and "run" i.e. in Table 1 the experiment includes many different runs, but then in the text the words are reversed. This lack of consistency makes it quite difficult to parse what the authors means in several instances.

@JJ just to be clear: An experiment has many runs, a run is one instance of a GA trying to find a solution Is this right? I googled and many papers indeed follow this convention. Like: https://computation.llnl.gov/casc/sapphire/pubs/142172.pdf

So, for instance: The table shows that every run included more than 30 experiments. Has to change to: The table shows that every experiment included more than 30 runs. ?

That is correct.
