Method Detail

query

public java.lang.Boolean query(AbaTheory<T> beliefbase,
                               Assumption<T> query)

Description copied from interface: Reasoner

Queries the given belief base for the given formula.

Specified by:

query in interface QualitativeReasoner<AbaTheory<T extends Formula>,Assumption<T extends Formula>>

Specified by:

query in interface Reasoner<java.lang.Boolean,AbaTheory<T extends Formula>,Assumption<T extends Formula>>

Parameters:

beliefbase - a belief base

query - a formula

Returns:

the answer to the query

query

public java.lang.Boolean query(AbaTheory<T> beliefbase,
                               Assumption<T> query,
                               InferenceMode inferenceMode)

Queries the given ABA theory for the given assumption using the given inference type.

Parameters:

beliefbase - an ABA theory

query - some assumption

inferenceMode - either InferenceMode.SKEPTICAL or InferenceMode.CREDULOUS

Returns:

"true" if the query is accepted

getModels

public abstract java.util.Collection<AbaExtension<T>> getModels(AbaTheory<T> bbase)

Description copied from interface: ModelProvider

Returns a characterizing model of the given belief base

Specified by:

getModels in interface ModelProvider<Assumption<T extends Formula>,AbaTheory<T extends Formula>,AbaExtension<T extends Formula>>

Parameters:

bbase - some belief base

Returns:

the (selected) models of the belief base

getModel

public AbaExtension<T> getModel(AbaTheory<T> bbase)

Description copied from interface: ModelProvider

Returns a single (dedicated) model of the given belief base. If the implemented method allows for more than one dedicated model, the selection may be non-deterministic.

Specified by:

getModel in interface ModelProvider<Assumption<T extends Formula>,AbaTheory<T extends Formula>,AbaExtension<T extends Formula>>

Parameters:

bbase - some belief base

Returns:

a selected model of the belief base.
