Class TrueValueProductAttributePerception

java.lang.Object

IRPact_modellierung.perception.TrueValueProductAttributePerception

All Implemented Interfaces:

ProductAttributePerceptionScheme

public class TrueValueProductAttributePerception
extends java.lang.Object
implements ProductAttributePerceptionScheme

The TrueValueProductAttributePerception is a ProductAttributePerceptionScheme that represents the perception of a ProductAttribute as a single numerical value denoting the true value of this ProductAttribute. This scheme is intended for models that assume perfect information of the ConsumerAgents and forbids the values of the perception scheme to change (by throwing an error).

Constructor Summary

Constructor and Description
TrueValueProductAttributePerception(ProductAttribute associatedProductAttribute) The TrueValueProductAttributePerception is associated with a product attribute whose value it uses for 'calculating' the 'perception' by using its value.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
double	calculateProductAttributePerception(double systemTime) 'calculates' the product perception at system time (returns the true value of the product attribute)
ProductAttribute	getAssociatedProductAttribute()
void	modifyValue(double productAttributeValuePerception, double informationWeight, double timestamp) Since the perception of a product attribute with this scheme shouldn't change without the attribute value changing, this method just ignores all perceptions.

Constructor Detail

TrueValueProductAttributePerception

public TrueValueProductAttributePerception(ProductAttribute associatedProductAttribute)

The TrueValueProductAttributePerception is associated with a product attribute whose value it uses for 'calculating' the 'perception' by using its value.

Parameters:

associatedProductAttribute - The product attribute associated with this perception scheme

Method Detail

getAssociatedProductAttribute

public ProductAttribute getAssociatedProductAttribute()

calculateProductAttributePerception

public double calculateProductAttributePerception(double systemTime)

'calculates' the product perception at system time (returns the true value of the product attribute)

Specified by:

calculateProductAttributePerception in interface ProductAttributePerceptionScheme

Parameters:

systemTime - the time point the productAttributePerception is to be calculated for (ignored for this scheme)

Returns:

numerical value of the true value of the product attribute

modifyValue

public void modifyValue(double productAttributeValuePerception,
                        double informationWeight,
                        double timestamp)

Since the perception of a product attribute with this scheme shouldn't change without the attribute value changing, this method just ignores all perceptions.

Specified by:

modifyValue in interface ProductAttributePerceptionScheme

Parameters:

productAttributeValuePerception - The relevant productAttributeValuePerception. It's semantics depend on the implementation, but it's generally intended to be a 'new' perception based on the environment of the actor

informationWeight - Value on how strongly the new information is taken into account

timestamp - The simulation time the product attribute value perception is to take place
