= Travelling Salesman Problem =
The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is certainly one of the classical as well as most frequently analyzed representatives of combinatorial optimization problems with a lot of solution methodologies and solution manipulation operators. The problem is that a person has to visit a number of cities starting from and returning to his home city. The goal is to find a tour where every city is visited exactly once and where the travel distances become minimal. 

'''Problem Parameters:'''
||= Parameter         =||= Description =||
|| !BestKnownQuality   || The quality of the best known solution of this TSP instance. ||
|| !BestKnownSolution  || The best known solution of this TSP instance. ||

|| !DistanceMatrix      || The matrix which contains the distances between the cities. || 
|| Evaluator           || [#Evaluator| TSPRoundedEuclideanPathEvaluator]: The operator which should be used to evaluate TSP solutions. ||
|| Maximization        || Set to false as the Traveling Salesman Problem is a minimization problem. ||
|| !SolutionCreator    || !RandomPermutationCreator: The operator which should be used to create new TSP solutions. ||
|| !UseDistanceMatrix   || True if a distance matrix should be calculated and used for evaluation, otherwise false. ||
