/**
 * InterPopulationExchange is an Exchanger which implements a simple exchanger
 * between subpopulations. IterPopulationExchange uses an arbitrary graph topology
 * for migrating individuals from subpopulations. The assumption is that all
 * subpopulations have the same representation and same task to solve, otherwise
 * the exchange between subpopulations does not make much sense.

 * <p>InterPopulationExchange has a topology which is similar to the one used by
 * IslandExchange.  Every few generations, a subpopulation will send some number
 * of individuals to other subpopulations.  Since all subpopulations evolve at
 * the same generational speed, this is a synchronous procedure (IslandExchange
 * instead is asynchronous by default, though you can change it to synchronous).
 
 * <p>Individuals are sent from a subpopulation prior to breeding.  They are stored
 * in a waiting area until after all subpopulations have bred; thereafter they are
 * added into the new subpopulation.  This means that the subpopulation order doesn't
 * matter.  Also note that it means that some individuals will be created during breeding,
 * and immediately killed to make way for the migrants.  A little wasteful, we know,
 * but it's simpler that way.
