Class HeuristicClassification

java.lang.Object

org.licas.ai_solver.HeuristicClassification

Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultHeuristicClassification

public abstract class HeuristicClassification
extends java.lang.Object

This class describes the methods to classify the different heuristic types. This class is typically used by the other heuristic factory implementors to determine type or return general information.

Constructor Detail

HeuristicClassification

public HeuristicClassification()

Create a new instance of HeuristicClassification.

Method Detail

isHeuristic

public boolean isHeuristic(java.lang.String heuristicType)

Return true if the heuristic type is a known type. The method returns false in this base class, so overwrite if you add a new heuristic type.

Parameters:

heuristicType - the heuristic type.

Returns:

true if a possible heuristic type.

isCentralised

public boolean isCentralised(java.lang.String solverType)

Return true if the framework type is a recognised centralised type. The method returns false in this base class, so overwrite if you add a new framework type.

Parameters:

solverType - the solver framework the test is run on.

Returns:

true if a centralised type.

getFactoryInfo

public abstract org.ai_heuristic.model.FactoryInfo getFactoryInfo(java.lang.String heuristicType)

Get a factory info object for the specified heuristic or evaluator type.

Parameters:

heuristicType - the AI type to check for.

Returns:

a factory info object with related information.
