Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultRegulatoryPolicyScheme

public abstract class RegulatoryPolicyScheme
extends java.lang.Object

regulatory policy scheme describes the way products are evaluated towards health, safety and environmental standards. It is used to evaluate which products need to be taken of the market, for- malizing restrictions on products. The regulatory policy scheme integrates legal acts and the corresponding response of company agents in discontinu- ing products that don't conform to said standards.

Method Detail

evaluateRegulatoryPolicy

public abstract java.util.Set<Product> evaluateRegulatoryPolicy(SimulationContainer simulationContainer)

Method to formalize the process of formation and evaluation of the regulatory policy. It is used to evaluate which products need to be taken of the market, for- malizing restrictions on products. The regulatory policy scheme integrates legal acts and the corresponding response of company agents in discontinu- ing products that don't conform to said standards.

Parameters:

simulationContainer - The simulation container the policies should be evaluated in

Returns:

A set of products not conforming to the regulatory policy specified within this method. These will be removed from the market.

implementRegulatoryPolicy

public void implementRegulatoryPolicy(SimulationContainer simulationContainer)

Method that removes all 'unsuitable' products from the market. Unsuitable products are determined by the evaluateRegulatoryPolicy method, specifying the process of product discontinuation.

Parameters:

simulationContainer - The simulation container the policies should be evaluated and applied in
