HeuristicHeuristics

public HeuristicHeuristics(HeuristicClassification theHeuristicClassif,
                           java.util.ArrayList<ModuleHeuristicFactory> theHeuristicModules)

Create a new instance of HeuristicHeuristics.

Parameters:

theHeuristicClassif - the heuristic classifications.

theHeuristicModules - list of heuristic modules.

Method Detail

getHeuristicTypes

public abstract java.util.HashMap<java.lang.String,org.ai_heuristic.model.FactoryInfo> getHeuristicTypes(java.lang.String solverType)

Get a list of available heuristic types - genetic, linking type, etc. Can include actual classnames for specific types.

Parameters:

solverType - the type of problem solving framework - hyper-compare, hill-climb, links, etc.

Returns:

the list of relevant heuristic types. All types are returned if the solver type is not recognised.

getAllHeuristicTypes

public abstract java.util.HashMap<java.lang.String,org.ai_heuristic.model.FactoryInfo> getAllHeuristicTypes()

Get a list of all available heuristic types that can be added to a framework in general.

Returns:

the list of avaliable heuristic types.
