Class NoInformationScheme

java.lang.Object

IRPact_modellierung.information.InformationScheme

IRPact_modellierung.information.NoInformationScheme

public class NoInformationScheme
extends InformationScheme

(Dummy) information scheme that represents an 'informational black hole'. No information is exchanged in this scheme, and it is suited for models that ignore information

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.util.Set<InformationEvent>	deriveProductInformation(ConsumerAgent informationRequestingAgent, ProductAttribute productAttributeOfInterest, SimulationContainer simulationContainer) Since no information is of relevant, all product information derived is empty (i.e.
void	provideInformation(InformationAgent contributingAgent, Information contributedInformation, double systemTime) No information provided is of relevance in this scheme, so this is basically a NOP.

Method Detail

provideInformation

public void provideInformation(InformationAgent contributingAgent,
                               Information contributedInformation,
                               double systemTime)
                        throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

No information provided is of relevance in this scheme, so this is basically a NOP.

Specified by:

provideInformation in class InformationScheme

Parameters:

contributingAgent - The agent providing information to the information scheme

contributedInformation - The information that is provided to the information scheme

systemTime - The time the information is provided to the system

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

deriveProductInformation

public java.util.Set<InformationEvent> deriveProductInformation(ConsumerAgent informationRequestingAgent,
                                                                ProductAttribute productAttributeOfInterest,
                                                                SimulationContainer simulationContainer)

Since no information is of relevant, all product information derived is empty (i.e. no InformationEvents)

Specified by:

deriveProductInformation in class InformationScheme

Parameters:

informationRequestingAgent - The agent that requests information about a product quality

productAttributeOfInterest - The quality which an agent requests information about

simulationContainer - The state of the simulation at the time of inquiry

Returns:

Since no information is regarded in this scheme, the set of information events will always be empty
