Class TopologyManipulationScheme

java.lang.Object

IRPact_modellierung.network.TopologyManipulationScheme

Direct Known Subclasses:

RandomInDelTMS, RandomRewireTMS

public abstract class TopologyManipulationScheme
extends java.lang.Object

A TopologyManipulationScheme describes how the topology of a SocialGraph changes over time. It describes whether edges from a node to itself are allowed (selfReferentialTopology) and might rewire / reassign edges in the graph through the manipulateTopology method.

manipulateTopology

public abstract void manipulateTopology(SimulationContainer simulationContainer,
                                        SocialGraph socialGraph)

Method to describe how the topology of a SocialGraph changes over time. Directly manipulates the graph by adding, removing or changing the edges, depending on the characteristics of the TopologyManipulationScheme.

Parameters:

simulationContainer - The container the simulation runs in

socialGraph - The graph which edges are to be manipulated

isSelfReferential

public boolean isSelfReferential()
