Class EdgeWeightManipulationScheme

java.lang.Object

IRPact_modellierung.network.EdgeWeightManipulationScheme

Direct Known Subclasses:

ConstantEdgeWeightManipulationScheme

public abstract class EdgeWeightManipulationScheme
extends java.lang.Object

Calculates an edge weight for a SNEdge based on agent group, distance and other factors. This scheme determines the temporal dynamics of the edgeWeightFunction and is used to (re-)evaluate the strength of interaction between different actors

EdgeWeightManipulationScheme

public EdgeWeightManipulationScheme()

An EdgeWeightManipulationScheme describes how the weight of an edge in the SocialGraph is determined.

Method Detail

weighEdge

public abstract double weighEdge(SNNode source,
                                 SNNode target,
                                 SocialGraph.EDGEMEDIUM edgemedium)

Method to describe how an edge of a given medium, that is to be established between two nodes is to be weighed

Parameters:

source - The node the corresponding edge stems from

target - The node the corresponding edge points towards

edgemedium - The medium the edge is established via

Returns:

The weight that should be assigned to the edge of interest

reweighEdge

public abstract double reweighEdge(SNEdge edgeToReweigh,
                                   double simulationTime)

Method to re-evaluate the interaction strength associated with an edge at a given time

Parameters:

edgeToReweigh - The edge that is to be re-evaluated

simulationTime - The current system time

Returns:

The weight that should be (re-)assigned to the edge of interest
