public abstract class AbstractAssignationElement<IntType extends AbstractInteraction<?>>
extends java.lang.Object

Class representing an element of a cell of the interaction matrix -- i.e. an interaction that a particular source agent has the ability to initiate.

An interaction might have more than one target. For computation complexity reasons, only a subset of possible interactions are represented in JEDI :

• Interactions that a source agent initiates and that has no target agents, i.e. degenerate interactions. For instance to Die, to Wander, ...
• Interactions that a source agent initiates with a single target agents. For instance to Eat a Vegetable, to Follow another agent, to Attack another agent, ...
• Interactions that a source agent initiates with a set of target agents, which depends on the situation where the source agent lies. For instance, an agent Infects all the agents that are at a maximal distance of 1 from it, and that are not already infected, ...

Thus, three different Assignation element exist :

• SingleTargetAssignationElement that represent SingleTargetInteraction
• DegenerateAssignationElement that represent DegenerateInteraction
• MultipleTargetAssignationElement that represent MultipleTargetInteraction

Constructor Detail

AbstractAssignationElement

public AbstractAssignationElement(IntType t)
                           throws java.lang.NullPointerException

Constructor of an AbtractAssignationElement.

Parameters:

t - the interaction associated with this assignation element.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if t is null.

Method Detail

getInteraction

public IntType getInteraction()

Gets the interaction associated with this assignation element.

Returns:

the interaction associated with this assignation element.

listAllRealizableTuples

public abstract void listAllRealizableTuples(Environment e,
                                             Agent source,
                                             java.util.Set<Agent> neighbors,
                                             java.util.List<AbstractRealizableTuple<?>> tuples)

Adds to the list tuples all realizable tuples that can be built for the source agent, which has a set of neighbors neighbors.

Parameters:

e - The environment where the interaction takes place.

source - The source agent for which realizable tuples are listed.

neighbors - The set of neighbors of the source agent.

tuples - The list where the realizable tuples are added.
