Interface MultilateralTournamentConfigurationInterface

All Known Implementing Classes:

MultilateralTournamentConfiguration

public interface MultilateralTournamentConfigurationInterface

Stores the configuration variables

This object must be serializable so that the configuration can be read from file. Therefore should not contain complex runtime objects but rather RepItems. Implementations should be immutable.

Method Detail

getProtocolItem

MultiPartyProtocolRepItem getProtocolItem()

Gets the protocol to run

Returns:

the protocol to run

getDeadline

Deadline getDeadline()

Returns:

Deadline for all sessions.

getRepeats

int getRepeats()

Gets the number of times to run the tournament.

Returns:

the number of tournaments

getMediator

PartyRepItem getMediator()

Returns:

The mediator in use. ignored if protocol does not use mediator. Must be non-null if protocol needs mediator.

getPartyItems

java.util.List<ParticipantRepItem> getPartyItems()

read-only list of party repository items. This may include mediator(s)

Returns:

a list of all chosen parties. Only a sub-set of the non-mediators will be used in each session, see also getNumPartiesPerSession()

getProfileItems

java.util.List<ProfileRepItem> getProfileItems()

Gets read-only list of profiles used by the parties. These protocols are used to generate the sessions. The number of available items determines the maximum number of parties in one session.

Returns:

list of profiles used by the parties

getPartyBItems

java.util.List<ParticipantRepItem> getPartyBItems()

Returns:

a pool of parties for side B . This is only used if not empty and if getNumPartiesPerSession() =2.

getProfileBItems

java.util.List<ProfileRepItem> getProfileBItems()

Returns:

a pool of profiles for side B. Must be non empty if getPartyBItems() is not empty.

getNumPartiesPerSession

int getNumPartiesPerSession()

Returns:

the number of parties (excluding mediators) per session. This can be smaller than size of getPartyItems(), then subsets of the party items will be used in each session.

isRepetitionAllowed

boolean isRepetitionAllowed()

Gets whether repetition is allowed when generating combinations of agents.

Returns:

true if allowed

isRandomSessionOrder

boolean isRandomSessionOrder()

Returns:

true if the sessions inside a tournament must be randomized.

getPersistentDataType

PersistentDataType getPersistentDataType()

Returns:

the persistent data setting for this tournament.

isPrintEnabled

boolean isPrintEnabled()

Returns:

true iff print (using System.out.println) is enabled. If not, it is suppressed.
