1. The parameters of all parents are extracted [UniformSequentialSubScopeProcessor which applies a SimOptParameterExtractor]
2. The parents are prepared for crossing by grouping the respective parameters [SimOptCrossoverPreparator]
3. The parameters are crossed [UniformSequentialSubScopeProcessor which applies SequentialSubScopeProcessor which applies the SubOperators of this operator on each parameter group (except for the last one)]
4. Assigning the crossed parameters to the respective children [MergingReducer]
5. Update the parameters [UniformSequentialSubScopeProcessor which applies SimOptParameterPacker]

Should the packing fail due to constraint violations, the operator will execute the last of its suboperators.";
