public class DiscreteTimeModel
extends TimeModel

A DiscreteTimeModel describes a temporal model that is organized in a finite number of steps, in which the respective events and processes are executed. After the execution of one step, it will proceed to the next step after reaching the end It is associated with the respective event scheduler and process model, as well as the number of steps it runs, whether its agents run in synchrony and the output scheme used to print information about the state of it. After its execution it will run for the specified number of steps, invoking the step() method, which describes its dynamics.

DiscreteTimeModel

public DiscreteTimeModel(SimulationContainer simulationContainer,
                         ProcessModel processModel,
                         int numberTotalSteps,

A DiscreteTimeModel governs the temporal aspects of a simulation in the simulation container and the process model in it for a number of steps specified, with agent behavior synchronicity specified

Parameters:

simulationContainer - The container the simulation runs in

processModel - The process model the simulation is based on

numberTotalSteps - The number of steps the simulation is to run

synchronousTimeRegime - Whether agents should (be forced to) act in synchrony or not

Method Detail

getNumberTotalSteps

public int getNumberTotalSteps()

isSynchronousTimeRegime

public boolean isSynchronousTimeRegime()

startSimulation

public void startSimulation()

This method starts the simulation, and calls the step() method the number of times specified. It thus describes the discrete temporal dynamics.
