3. Experiments Design
After to configure the scenario, the STSP framework is ready
to carry out the experiments based on search strategies. An
experiment is defined by the definition of the 3 dimensions
presented in Section III: Source, Destination and Objectives.
In this phase, software engineers can also chose which
external frameworks and metaheuristics integrated to the STSP
framework they want to execute for the configured scenario.
Furthermore, the parameters required to use these algorithms
(these parameters are defined by the original framework that
implements the algorithms) must be filled out, such as:
population size, number of generations, percentage of
crossover and mutation, amongst others (Fig. 2A).
