public class PeriodViolation
extends ExamCriterion

Experimental criterion counting violations of periods assignments. If this criterion is enabled, any period can be assigned to an exam (not only those that are in the domain of the exam).

To enable assignment of prohibited periods, set parameter Exam.SoftPeriods to a weight that should be inferred by a prohibited period assignment.

Method Detail

getWeightName

public String getWeightName()

Description copied from class: AbstractCriterion

Defines weight name (to be used to get the criterion weight from the configuration).

Overrides:

getWeightName in class ExamCriterion

Returns:

name of the weight associated with this criterion

getXmlWeightName

public String getXmlWeightName()

Description copied from class: ExamCriterion

Name of the weight parameter in the parameters section of the examination XML file.

Overrides:

getXmlWeightName in class ExamCriterion

Returns:

name of the weight parameter in the XML

getValue

public double getValue(Assignment<Exam,ExamPlacement> assignment,
                       ExamPlacement value,
                       Set<ExamPlacement> 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

getBounds

public double[] getBounds(Assignment<Exam,ExamPlacement> assignment,
                          Collection<Exam> 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<Exam,ExamPlacement>

Overrides:

getBounds in class ExamCriterion

Parameters:

assignment - current assignment

variables - list of problem variables

Returns:

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

toString

public String toString(Assignment<Exam,ExamPlacement> assignment)

Description copied from class: AbstractCriterion

Simple text representation of the criterion and its value. E.g., X:x where X is the AbstractCriterion.getAbbreviation() and x is the current value AbstractCriterion.getValue(Assignment).

Specified by:

toString in interface Criterion<Exam,ExamPlacement>

Overrides:

toString in class AbstractCriterion<Exam,ExamPlacement>

Parameters:

assignment - current assignment

Returns:

short string representation (e.g., PP:95% for period preference)
