#' @title Jobs and Experiments
#'
#' @description
#' Jobs and Experiments are abstract objects which hold all information necessary to execute a single computational
#' job for a \code{\link{Registry}} or \code{\link{ExperimentRegistry}}, respectively.
#'
#' They can be created using the constructor \code{makeJob} which takes a single job id.
#' Jobs and Experiments are passed to reduce functions like \code{\link{reduceResults}}.
#' Furthermore, Experiments can be used in the functions of the \code{\link{Problem}} and \code{\link{Algorithm}}.
#' Jobs and Experiments hold these information:
#' \describe{
#'  \item{\code{job.id}}{Job ID as integer.}
#'  \item{\code{pars}}{
#'    Job parameters as named list.
#'    For \code{\link{ExperimentRegistry}}, the parameters are divided into the sublists \dQuote{prob.pars} and \dQuote{algo.pars}.
#'  }
#'  \item{\code{seed}}{Seed which is set via \code{\link{doJobCollection}} as scalar integer.}
#'  \item{\code{resources}}{Computational resources which were set for this job as named list.}
#'  \item{\code{external.dir}}{
#'    Path to a directory which is created exclusively for this job. You can store external files here.
#'    Directory is persistent between multiple restarts of the job and can be cleaned by calling \code{\link{resetJobs}}.
#'  }
#'  \item{\code{fun}}{Job only: User function passed to \code{\link{batchMap}}.}
#'  \item{\code{prob.name}}{Experiments only: Problem id.}
#'  \item{\code{algo.name}}{Experiments only: Algorithm id.}
#'  \item{\code{problem}}{Experiments only: \code{\link{Problem}}.}
#'  \item{\code{instance}}{Experiments only: Problem instance.}
#'  \item{\code{algorithm}}{Experiments only: \code{\link{Algorithm}}.}
#'  \item{\code{repl}}{Experiments only: Replication number.}
#' }
#'
#' Note that the slots \dQuote{pars}, \dQuote{fun}, \dQuote{algorithm} and \dQuote{problem}
#' lazy-load required files from the file system and construct the object on the first access.
#' The realizations are cached for all slots except \dQuote{instance} (which might be stochastic).
#'
#' Jobs and Experiments can be executed manually with \code{\link{execJob}}.
#'
#' @template id
#' @param reader [\code{RDSReader} | \code{NULL}]\cr
#'  Reader object to retrieve files. Used internally to cache reading from the file system.
#'  The default (\code{NULL}) does not make use of caching.
#' @template reg
#' @return [\code{Job} | \code{Experiment}].
#' @aliases Job Experiment
#' @rdname JobExperiment
