Interface Scheme

All Superinterfaces:

Activatible, Initializable, Learnable, ProceduralUnit

All Known Implementing Classes:

SchemeImpl

public interface Scheme
extends ProceduralUnit, Learnable

A Scheme consists of a Context, an Action and a Result. A scheme is activated in the presence of its context. If its action is taken then its result is more likely to be true. It can be instantiated in which case the instantiation is called a Behavior.

Method Detail

setAction

void setAction(Action a)

Sets action

Parameters:

a - Action this unit contains

addCondition

boolean addCondition(Condition c,
                     ProceduralMemoryImpl.ConditionType type)

Adds the context condition.

Parameters:

c - the condition

type - the usage type of the condition

Returns:

true, if successful

ProceduralMemoryImpl.ConditionType

actionExecuted

void actionExecuted()

Called when Scheme's action is executed Scheme should update the number of times its action has been executed in order to calculate reliability.

getNumExecutions

int getNumExecutions()

Gets the number of executions

Returns:

how many times this scheme's action has been executed

actionSuccessful

void actionSuccessful()

Called when Scheme's action produces expected result.

getReliability

double getReliability()

Returns reliability

Returns:

frequency that result is observed after scheme's Action is taken.

isReliable

boolean isReliable()

Returns:

true if reliability is over threshold

setInnate

void setInnate(boolean innate)

Sets innate

Parameters:

innate - whether this Scheme is hard-wired and cannot be decayed.

isInnate

boolean isInnate()

Returns:

true if this scheme should not be decayed.
