Method Detail

getWeightDefault

public double getWeightDefault(DataProperties config)

Description copied from class: AbstractCriterion

Defines default weight (when AbstractCriterion.getWeightName() parameter is not present in the criterion).

Overrides:

getWeightDefault in class AbstractCriterion<Lecture,Placement>

Parameters:

config - solver configuration

Returns:

default criterion weight value

getPlacementSelectionWeightName

public String getPlacementSelectionWeightName()

Overrides:

getPlacementSelectionWeightName in class TimetablingCriterion

getValue

public double getValue(Assignment<Lecture,Placement> assignment,
                       Placement value,
                       Set<Placement> conflicts)

Description copied from interface: Criterion

Value of a proposed assignment (including hard conflicts)

Parameters:

assignment - current assignment

value - given value

conflicts - values conflicting with the given value

Returns:

change in this criterion value when assigned

getValue

public double getValue(Assignment<Lecture,Placement> assignment,
                       Collection<Lecture> variables)

Description copied from interface: Criterion

Value of a part of the problem (given by the collection of variables)

Specified by:

getValue in interface Criterion<Lecture,Placement>

Overrides:

getValue in class AbstractCriterion<Lecture,Placement>

Parameters:

assignment - current assignment

variables - list of problem variables

Returns:

value of the given variables

computeBounds

protected double[] computeBounds(Assignment<Lecture,Placement> assignment)

Description copied from class: AbstractCriterion

Compute bounds (bounds are being cached by default).

Overrides:

computeBounds in class AbstractCriterion<Lecture,Placement>

Parameters:

assignment - current assignment

Returns:

minimum and maximum of this criterion's value

getBounds

public double[] getBounds(Assignment<Lecture,Placement> assignment,
                          Collection<Lecture> variables)

Description copied from interface: Criterion

Value bounds (minimum and maximum) of the criterion on a part of the problem

Specified by:

getBounds in interface Criterion<Lecture,Placement>

Overrides:

getBounds in class AbstractCriterion<Lecture,Placement>

Parameters:

assignment - current assignment

variables - list of problem variables

Returns:

minimum and maximum of this criterion for the given sub-problem
