IRPact_modellierung.SimulationEntity

IRPact_modellierung.events.Event

IRPact_modellierung.events.InformationEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<Event>

public class InformationEvent
extends Event

An InformationEvent links the information a ConsumerAgent requested in an information scheme to the processing of the respective information within the simulation. The information is provided at the scheduled time as an InformationEvent, and will be evaluated when the InformatioEvent is processed. Processing of this event depends on the ConsumerAgent requesting the information, and is specified in their respective method.

Constructor Detail

InformationEvent

public InformationEvent(SimulationContainer simulationContainer,
                        double scheduledForTime,
                        Information respectiveInformation,
                        ConsumerAgent processingAgent)
                 throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

An InformationEvent links a given information and the ConsumerAgent being informed to the temporal frame. Since it is an event it is scheduled for a given time (and linked to the container the simulation runs in), and contains the description of its processing in itself.

Parameters:

simulationContainer - The container the simulation runs in

scheduledForTime - The time the event is scheduled for

respectiveInformation - The information that is to be received by the processingAgent

processingAgent - The ConsumerAgent processing the information

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - Will be thrown when the processingAgent does not belong to the simulation (is not in the simulationContainer)

Method Detail

processEvent

public void processEvent(double systemTime)

Processing an InformationEvent depends on how the ConsumerAgent responds to information. Its execution is thus done within the ConsumerAgent by its processInformation method.

Specified by:

processEvent in class Event

Parameters:

systemTime - The current time of the system for execution
