Class Agent

java.lang.Object
  de.cesr.lara.houseplant.Agent

All Implemented Interfaces:

LaraAgent<Agent,AbstractIrrigationBehaviouralOption<Agent>>, LaraAbstractEventSubscriber, LaraEventSubscriber

public class Agent
extends Object
implements LaraAgent<Agent,AbstractIrrigationBehaviouralOption<Agent>>

As we do agent based modeling the agent makes up the heart of our model. The agent implements the interface LaraAgent - this is neceassary to provide an abstract view of the agent the LARA architecture can interact with.

Constructor Summary

Agent(String id, String habitationId, LaraEnvironment environment, Map<Class<? extends LaraPreference>,Double> preferences)
creates an agent. requires a unique identifier string

Method Summary

void	decide(LaraDecisionConfiguration dBuilder) this is called in the end of an decision process. the agent looks for the best decision and acts according to the decision he made. in our case he memorizes his decision.
void	execute(LaraDecisionConfiguration dBuilder) Do some actions based on the agents decision.
String	getAgentId() Get the custom agent id.
double	getCurrentAmountOfWaterOfHouseplant()
int	getCurrentSunshineDuration()
LaraAgentComponent<Agent,AbstractIrrigationBehaviouralOption<Agent>>	getLaraComp() Returns the LaraAgentComponent of this agent.
double	getPercentageOfCollaboratorsWhoIrrigatedLastTimestep()
boolean	isDecisionDeliberative() Is called during the preProcess phase.
boolean	isPlantOk() does the agent consider the plant to be ok?
<T extends LaraEvent> void	onEvent(T event) react on events based on the type of the event
void	perceive(LaraDecisionConfiguration dBuilder) perceive the relevant environmental properties (sunshine, what did others do and amount of water)
void	setLaraComp(LaraAgentComponent<Agent,AbstractIrrigationBehaviouralOption<Agent>> component)

Method Detail

isPlantOk

public boolean isPlantOk()

does the agent consider the plant to be ok? TODO implement knowledge here?

Returns:

true if agents thinks, plant is ok

getCurrentSunshineDuration

public int getCurrentSunshineDuration()

Returns:

the sunshine duration for the current timestep as perceived from the environment

getPercentageOfCollaboratorsWhoIrrigatedLastTimestep

public double getPercentageOfCollaboratorsWhoIrrigatedLastTimestep()

Returns:

how many percent of the agents collaborators have irrigated the plant in the last timestep

getAgentId

public String getAgentId()

Description copied from interface: LaraAgent

Get the custom agent id.

Specified by:

getAgentId in interface LaraAgent<Agent,AbstractIrrigationBehaviouralOption<Agent>>

Returns:

agent id string

LaraAgent.getAgentId()

getLaraComp

public LaraAgentComponent<Agent,AbstractIrrigationBehaviouralOption<Agent>> getLaraComp()

Description copied from interface: LaraAgent

Returns the LaraAgentComponent of this agent.

Specified by:

getLaraComp in interface LaraAgent<Agent,AbstractIrrigationBehaviouralOption<Agent>>

Returns:

component Lara agent component

See Also:

LaraAgent.getLaraComp()

decide

public void decide(LaraDecisionConfiguration dBuilder)

this is called in the end of an decision process. the agent looks for the best decision and acts according to the decision he made. in our case he memorizes his decision.

execute

public void execute(LaraDecisionConfiguration dBuilder)

Do some actions based on the agents decision. In this case (which is typical) change the environment.

perceive

public void perceive(LaraDecisionConfiguration dBuilder)

perceive the relevant environmental properties (sunshine, what did others do and amount of water)

isDecisionDeliberative

public boolean isDecisionDeliberative()

Is called during the preProcess phase. Determines if decision making in this timestep is done by habit or deliberative.

Returns:

true/false

onEvent

public <T extends LaraEvent> void onEvent(T event)

react on events based on the type of the event

Specified by:

onEvent in interface LaraEventSubscriber

setLaraComp

Parameters:

component -

getCurrentAmountOfWaterOfHouseplant

public double getCurrentAmountOfWaterOfHouseplant()

Returns:

current amount of water the houseplant has
