Class OSTNU

java.lang.Object
it.univr.di.cstnu.algorithms.AbstractCSTN<OSTNUEdgePluggable>
it.univr.di.cstnu.algorithms.OSTNU
public class OSTNU extends AbstractCSTN<OSTNUEdgePluggable>
Represents a Simple Temporal Network with Uncertainty and Oracles (OSTNU).

This class implementation considers instantaneous reactions and checks the agile controllability assuming that the network can be executed adopting an early execution strategy.

At 2024-02-14, the agile controllability is checked propagating a modified version of Morris' rules:

  1. No case rule
  2. new upper case rule
  3. new lower case rule
  4. cross case rule
  5. label removal rule
  6. oracle rule

Each oracle is associated to a specific contingent node. So, if there is a contingent node 'C' and an oracle 'OC' for it, node OC ha in its observation field the value 'C'.
New upper/lower case rules and oracle rule determines new rules labeled by the fact the oracle is involved or not.
In particular, each value determined by oracle rule involving an oracle 'OC' having observation field = 'C' is labeled by 'C'. Each value determined by new lower/upper rule that involve contingent node 'C' is labeled by '¬C'.
In other words, label 'C' and label '¬C' represent two possible values generated considering contingent node 'C' that cannot be combined because they are alternative. 'C' and '¬C' can be considered literals of a boolean proposition 'C'.
Other rules, consider and propagate only values having label that are consistent, i.e., labels that not present opposite literals.


Constraint values (represented as edge values) are integers.

    • agileControllabilityCheck

      public OSTNU.OSTNUCheckStatus agileControllabilityCheck() throws WellDefinitionException
      Checks the agile controllability (AC) of the given network (see OSTNU(TNGraph) or AbstractCSTN.setG(TNGraph)).
      If the network is AC, it determines all the minimal ranges for the constraints.
      During the execution of this method, the given network is modified.
      If the check is successful, all constraints to node Z in the network are minimized; otherwise, the network contains a negative loop at least.
      After a check, AbstractCSTN.getGChecked() returns the graph resulting after the check and AbstractCSTN.getCheckStatus() the result of the checking action with some statistics and the node with the negative loop is the network is NOT DC.
      In any case, before returning, this method call AbstractCSTN.saveGraphToFile() for saving the computed graph.
      Returns:
      an OSTNU.OSTNUCheckStatus object containing the final status and some statistics about the executed checking.
      Throws:
      WellDefinitionException - if any.

    • dynamicConsistencyCheck

      public OSTNU.OSTNUCheckStatus dynamicConsistencyCheck() throws WellDefinitionException
      Checks the dynamic consistency (DC) of a CSTN instance within timeout seconds. During the execution of this method, the given network is modified.
      If the check is successful, all constraints to node Z in the network are minimized; otherwise, the network contains a negative loop at least.
      After a check, AbstractCSTN.getGChecked() returns the network determined by the check and AbstractCSTN.getCheckStatus() the result of the checking action with some statistics and the node having the negative loop if the network is NOT DC.
      In any case, before returning, this method call AbstractCSTN.saveGraphToFile() for saving the computed graph. Wrapper method for agileControllabilityCheck()
      Specified by:
      dynamicConsistencyCheck in class AbstractCSTN<OSTNUEdgePluggable>
      Returns:
      the final status of the checking with some statistics.
      Throws:
      WellDefinitionException - if any.

    • initAndCheck

      public void initAndCheck() throws WellDefinitionException
      Checks and initializes the CSTN instance represented by graph g. The check is made by AbstractCSTN.coreCSTNInitAndCheck().
      Since many DC checking algorithms are complete if and only if the CSTN instance contains an upper bound to the distance from Z (the first node) for each node, this method calls also AbstractCSTN.addUpperBounds() for adding such bounds as constraints between Z and each node. Calls and, then, check all contingent links. This method works only with streamlined instances!
      Overrides:
      initAndCheck in class AbstractCSTN<OSTNUEdgePluggable>
      Throws:
      WellDefinitionException - if the initial graph is not well-defined. We preferred to throw an exception instead of returning a negative status to stress that any further operation cannot be made on this instance.
