Class BooleanDependency

java.lang.Object

ptolemy.actor.util.BooleanDependency

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<Dependency>, Dependency

Direct Known Subclasses:

SuperdenseDependency

public class BooleanDependency
extends java.lang.Object
implements Dependency

This dependency represents causal relationships that are either present or not. That is, given any two ports, either one depends causally on the other or not. See the paper "Causality Interfaces for Actor Networks" by Ye Zhou and Edward A. Lee, ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS), April 2008, as available as Technical Report No. UCB/EECS-2006-148, November 16, 2006.

Modifier	Constructor and Description
protected	BooleanDependency(boolean value) Construct a dependency with the specified value.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	compareTo(Dependency dependency) Return Dependency.LESS_THAN, EQUALS, or GREATER_THAN depending on whether the argument is less than, equal to, or greater than this dependency.
boolean	equals(java.lang.Object object) Return true if the value of this dependency equals that of the specified one, and the specified one is an instance of RealDependency.
int	hashCode() Return the same hashCode that that Java Boolean object would return had it the same value, which is the integer 1231 if this object represents true, and the integer 1237 if this object represents false.
Dependency	oPlus(Dependency d) Return a dependency that results from parallel composition of this one and the specified one.
Dependency	oPlusIdentity() Return the dependency that when added to any other dependency using oPlus() yields the other dependency.
Dependency	oTimes(Dependency d) Return a dependency that results from serial composition of this one and the specified one.
Dependency	oTimesIdentity() Return the dependency that when multiplied by any other dependency using oTimes() yields the other dependency.
java.lang.String	toString() Return a string representation in the form "BooleanDependency(value)", where value is "true" or "false".
static BooleanDependency	valueOf(boolean value) Return an instance of BooleanDependency with the specified value.

Field Detail

OPLUS_IDENTITY

public static final BooleanDependency OPLUS_IDENTITY

The additive identity, which has value false and indicates that there is no dependency.

OTIMES_IDENTITY

public static final BooleanDependency OTIMES_IDENTITY

The multiplicative identity, which has value true and indicates that there is a dependency.

_value

protected boolean _value

The value.

Constructor Detail

BooleanDependency

protected BooleanDependency(boolean value)

Construct a dependency with the specified value. Note that the constructor is private. Use valueOf() to create instances.

Parameters:

value - The value.

Method Detail

compareTo

public int compareTo(Dependency dependency)

Return Dependency.LESS_THAN, EQUALS, or GREATER_THAN depending on whether the argument is less than, equal to, or greater than this dependency. Boolean dependencies are totally ordered, so this never returns Dependency.INCOMPARABLE. The order is that the OPLUS_IDENTITY (false) is less than OTIMES_IDENTITY (true).

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<Dependency>

Parameters:

dependency - The dependency to compare against.

Returns:

The result of comparison.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)

Return true if the value of this dependency equals that of the specified one, and the specified one is an instance of RealDependency.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

object - The object to compare against.

Returns:

true if the values are equal

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Return the same hashCode that that Java Boolean object would return had it the same value, which is the integer 1231 if this object represents true, and the integer 1237 if this object represents false.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

A hash code for this object.

oPlus

public Dependency oPlus(Dependency d)

Return a dependency that results from parallel composition of this one and the specified one. This is a dependency whose value is the logical OR of the value of this dependency and specified one.

Specified by:

oPlus in interface Dependency

Parameters:

d - The dependency to add.

Returns:

A dependency whose value is the logical OR of the two dependency values.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - if d is not a BooleanDependency.

oPlusIdentity

public Dependency oPlusIdentity()

Return the dependency that when added to any other dependency using oPlus() yields the other dependency.

Specified by:

oPlusIdentity in interface Dependency

Returns:

The additive identity.

oTimes

public Dependency oTimes(Dependency d)

Return a dependency that results from serial composition of this one and the specified one. This is a dependency whose value is the logical AND of the value of this dependency and specified one.

Specified by:

oTimes in interface Dependency

Parameters:

d - The dependency to multiply.

Returns:

A dependency whose value is the logical AND of the value of this one and the specified one.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - if d is not a BooleanDependency.

oTimesIdentity

public Dependency oTimesIdentity()

Return the dependency that when multiplied by any other dependency using oTimes() yields the other dependency.

Specified by:

oTimesIdentity in interface Dependency

Returns:

The multiplicative identity.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Return a string representation in the form "BooleanDependency(value)", where value is "true" or "false".

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

A string representation.

valueOf

public static BooleanDependency valueOf(boolean value)

Return an instance of BooleanDependency with the specified value. This is preferable to use over the constructor because there are only ever two possible values.

Parameters:

value - The specified value.

Returns:

an instance of BooleanDependency, if value is true, then OTIMES_IDENTITY is returned, if value is false, then OPLUS_IDENTITY.
