Class PathBaseCore

java.lang.Object
  nz.ac.waikato.mcennis.rat.reusablecores.PathBaseCore

Direct Known Subclasses:

ActorDistanceMatrixCore, OptimizedLinkBetweenessCore

public abstract class PathBaseCore
extends java.lang.Object

Core abstract class for algorithm cores that utilize shortest-path info in their algorithms. It creates shortest-path using Djikstra's algorithm for each source actor, allows performing of caluclations then, and allows algorithms to perform additional calculatio afterwards.

Method Detail

execute

public void execute(Graph g)

Generates a spanning tree for a given actor. Calls the abstract methods:
setSize - gives the derived class the size of the user list.
doAnalysis - gives a set of PathNodes and the root of the tree.
doCleanup - allows any extra calculations to be made before the algorithm returns control to the scheduler.

compare

protected void compare(PathNode current,
                       PathNode next,
                       Link link)

doCleanup

protected abstract void doCleanup(PathNode[] path,
                                  Graph g)

Any additional calculations to be performed before control returns to the scheduler

Parameters:

path -

g -

doAnalysis

protected abstract void doAnalysis(PathNode[] path,
                                   PathNode source)

Parameters:

path -

source -

setSize

protected abstract void setSize(int size)

Parameters:

size -

setRelation

public void setRelation(java.lang.String r)

Set which relation of links to use in path calculations

Parameters:

getMode

public java.lang.String getMode()

Return which mode of actors are to be used for shortest path calculations

Returns:

mode of actors to use

getProperties

public Properties getProperties()

setProperties
