Class SimulationExperiment

java.lang.Object
  net.sourceforge.jabm.SimulationExperiment

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class SimulationExperiment
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Runnable

A simulation experiment represents a simulation and a corresponding treatment: that is, a set of parameter bindings represented as Java Properties.

Field Summary

protected org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory	beanFactory The Spring BeanFactory instance which is used to construct the model.
protected java.lang.String	directoryName The path name of the directory where report data will be written to.
protected SimulationController	model The SimulationController for conducting this experiment.
protected static cern.jet.random.engine.RandomSeedGenerator	prngSeedGenerator
protected java.util.Properties	properties The properties specified here represent parameter bindings which override those specified in the original model configuration.

Constructor Summary

SimulationExperiment(org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory beanFactory, java.lang.String baseDirName, int experimentNumber, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> variableBindings, boolean generateSeeds, int seedMask)

SimulationExperiment(java.util.Properties properties)

Method Summary

void	createPropertyFile() Save the parameter bindings of this experiment to a property file.
void	initialise() Initialise the model by constructing it from the bean factory and then applying the parameter bindings specified by the properties attribute using Spring's properties post-processing feature.
void	logProperties() Print a summary of the parameter bindings for this experiment to a log.
void	run() Run this experiment.

Method Detail

initialise

public void initialise()

Initialise the model by constructing it from the bean factory and then applying the parameter bindings specified by the properties attribute using Spring's properties post-processing feature.

run

public void run()

Run this experiment.

Specified by:

run in interface java.lang.Runnable

logProperties

public void logProperties()

Print a summary of the parameter bindings for this experiment to a log.

createPropertyFile

public void createPropertyFile()

Save the parameter bindings of this experiment to a property file. The property file is called 'experiment.properties' and is saved in the same directory as the report data.
