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

bestSaved

public void bestSaved(Assignment<Lecture,Placement> assignment)

Description copied from interface: Criterion

Notification that the current solution has been saved to the best.

Specified by:

bestSaved in interface Criterion<Lecture,Placement>

Overrides:

bestSaved in class AbstractCriterion<Lecture,Placement>

Parameters:

assignment - current assignment

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)

Description copied from interface: Criterion

Current value of the criterion (optimization objective)

Specified by:

getValue in interface Criterion<Lecture,Placement>

Overrides:

getValue in class AbstractCriterion<Lecture,Placement>

Parameters:

assignment - current assignment

Returns:

value of this criterion

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

getInfo

public void getInfo(Assignment<Lecture,Placement> assignment,
                    Map<String,String> info)

Description copied from interface: InfoProvider

Adds some information into the table with information about the solution

Specified by:

getInfo in interface InfoProvider<Lecture,Placement>

Overrides:

getInfo in class AbstractCriterion<Lecture,Placement>

Parameters:

assignment - current assignment

info - info table

getInfo

public void getInfo(Assignment<Lecture,Placement> assignment,
                    Map<String,String> info,
                    Collection<Lecture> variables)

Description copied from interface: InfoProvider

Adds some information into the table with information about the solution, only consider variables from the given set

Specified by:

getInfo in interface InfoProvider<Lecture,Placement>

Overrides:

getInfo in class AbstractCriterion<Lecture,Placement>

Parameters:

assignment - current assignment

info - info table

variables - sub-problem

getExtendedInfo

public void getExtendedInfo(Assignment<Lecture,Placement> assignment,
                            Map<String,String> info)

Description copied from interface: ExtendedInfoProvider

Extended information about current solution. Similar to InfoProvider.getInfo(Assignment, Map), but some more information (that is more expensive to compute) might be added.

Specified by:

getExtendedInfo in interface ExtendedInfoProvider<Lecture,Placement>

Overrides:

getExtendedInfo in class AbstractCriterion<Lecture,Placement>

Parameters:

assignment - current assignment

info - extended info

createAssignmentContext

public AbstractCriterion.ValueContext createAssignmentContext(Assignment<Lecture,Placement> assignment)

Description copied from interface: HasAssignmentContext

Create a new assignment context for the given assignment. If there are already some variables assigned in the value, the method should make sure that the context is appropriately initialized.

Specified by:

createAssignmentContext in interface HasAssignmentContext<Lecture,Placement,AbstractCriterion.ValueContext>

Overrides:

createAssignmentContext in class AbstractCriterion<Lecture,Placement>

Parameters:

assignment - an assignment for which there needs to be an assignment context

Returns:

a new instance of the assignment context, filled according to the given assignment
