Field Detail

asleep

public boolean asleep

reallyasleep

public boolean reallyasleep

listeners

engineers

private java.util.Vector engineers

noOfEngineers

private int noOfEngineers

name

protected java.lang.String name

nextProposed

protected java.lang.Object nextProposed

protected java.lang.Object output

defaultOutput

private java.lang.Object defaultOutput

Constructor Detail

Factory

public Factory(java.lang.String name,
               java.lang.ThreadGroup group,
               java.lang.Object defaultOutput)

Factory

public Factory(java.lang.String name,
               java.lang.ThreadGroup group)

Method Detail

run

public void run()

Overrides:

run in class java.lang.Thread

reevaluateBest

private boolean reevaluateBest(java.util.Vector engineers,
                               java.lang.Object output,
                               double[] outputSatis,
                               int noEngineers)

calcSatis

private double calcSatis(double priority,
                         double satisfaction)

output

public java.lang.Object output()

This is the function that the agent controller will call to get the output from the thread. It should be known elsewhere? how to interpret the object.

addEngineer

public void addEngineer(InstantiatedEngineer eng)

Function to allow engineers to register their interest in the factory.

removeEngineer

public void removeEngineer(InstantiatedEngineer eng)

Function to allow engineers to finish with the factory.

nextProposed

protected java.lang.Object nextProposed(java.lang.Object lastProposed)

Function to come up with a new suggested value for the factory output. Obviously this does nothing. Subclasses of factory should do an interesting implementation.

swap

private void swap(double[] arr,
                  int i)

Swap array element with next array element

safeSuspend

public void safeSuspend()

Used to stop the factory safely

getRegisteredEngineers

public java.util.Vector getRegisteredEngineers()

addListener

public void addListener(NegotiationListener l)

removeListener

public void removeListener(NegotiationListener l)

getFactoryName

public java.lang.String getFactoryName()

setFactoryName

public void setFactoryName(java.lang.String name)

getDefaultOutput

protected java.lang.Object getDefaultOutput()
