Class ReservationLimit

java.lang.Object

net.sf.cpsolver.ifs.model.Constraint<V,T>

net.sf.cpsolver.ifs.model.GlobalConstraint<Request,Enrollment>

net.sf.cpsolver.studentsct.constraint.ReservationLimit

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<Constraint<Request,Enrollment>>

public class ReservationLimit
extends GlobalConstraint<Request,Enrollment>

Reservation limit constraint. This global constraint ensures that a limit of each reservation is not exceeded. This means that the total sum of weights of course requests (see Request.getWeight()) enrolled into a reservation is below the reservation's limit (see Reservation.getLimit()). It also ensures that the desired space is reserved in the enrollment's offering and configuration.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Comment
ReservationLimit.PreferDummyStudents	Boolean	If true, requests of dummy (last-like) students are preferred to be selected as conflicting.

Parameters:

cfg - solver configuration

Method Detail

getUnreservedSpace

public static double getUnreservedSpace(Config config,
                                        Request request)

Remaining unreserved space in a config if the given request is assigned. In order to overcome rounding problems with last-like students ( e.g., 5 students are projected to two sections of limit 2 -- each section can have up to 3 of these last-like students), the weight of the request with the highest weight in the section is changed to a small nominal weight.

Parameters:

config - a config that is of concern

request - a request of a student to be assigned containing the given section

Returns:

config's new unreserved space

computeConflicts

public void computeConflicts(Enrollment enrollment,
                             Set<Enrollment> conflicts)

A given enrollment is conflicting, if the reservation's remaning available space (computed by Reservation.getReservedAvailableSpace(Request)) is below the requests weight Request.getWeight().
If the limit is breached, one or more existing enrollments are selected as conflicting until there is enough space in the reservation. Similarly, if the enrollment does not have the reservation, it is checked that there is enough unreserved space in the desired configuration.

Specified by:

computeConflicts in class Constraint<Request,Enrollment>

Parameters:

enrollment - Enrollment that is being considered

conflicts - all computed conflicting requests are added into this set

inConflict

public boolean inConflict(Enrollment enrollment)

A given enrollment is conflicting, if the config's enrollment (computed by ConfigLimit.getEnrollmentWeight(Config, Request)) exceeds the limit.

Overrides:

inConflict in class Constraint<Request,Enrollment>

Parameters:

enrollment - Enrollment that is being considered

Returns:

true, if the enrollment cannot be assigned without exceeding the limit

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
