Class AdoptionReplacementScheme

java.lang.Object

IRPact_modellierung.processModel.AdoptionReplacementScheme

Direct Known Subclasses:

BetterProductReadoptionScheme, KieslingAdoptionReplacementScheme, NoAdoptionReplacementScheme

public abstract class AdoptionReplacementScheme
extends java.lang.Object

An AdoptionReplacementScheme models the process of replacing an adopted product that was discontinued on the market. It describes how ConsumerAgents respond to discontinuations and whether / how quickly they replace these products.

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
abstract void	readopt(ConsumerAgent consumerAgentConcerned, Product productConcerned, double simulationTime) This method describes how ConsumerAgents behave when they readopt a product (or how they choose a similar product, one that satisfies the needs).
abstract void	removeProductFromAgents(SimulationContainer simulationContainer, Product productToRemove) Method to describe what happens when a product gets 'removed' from the agents.

Method Detail

readopt

public abstract void readopt(ConsumerAgent consumerAgentConcerned,
                             Product productConcerned,
                             double simulationTime)

This method describes how ConsumerAgents behave when they readopt a product (or how they choose a similar product, one that satisfies the needs). It is triggered by the process model and can be considered part of it.

Parameters:

consumerAgentConcerned - The ConsumerAgent readopting

productConcerned - The Product being replaced, causing the readoption

simulationTime - The current time of the simulation

removeProductFromAgents

public abstract void removeProductFromAgents(SimulationContainer simulationContainer,
                                             Product productToRemove)

Method to describe what happens when a product gets 'removed' from the agents. Losing an adopted product might cause agents to readopt at some point, or to seek information or act in any other way. This is specified by this method.

Parameters:

simulationContainer - The container the simulation runs in

productToRemove - The product that is being removed from the agent
