Method Detail

calculateWeigth

public static double calculateWeigth(int decayType,
                                     double oldweight,
                                     long steps,
                                     NetEntity entity)

Calculate the new weight of a link.

Parameters:

decayType - the decay type to be applied

oldweight - the old weight of the link

steps - the steps that passed by since the last calculation

entity - the NetEntity where the link originates

Returns:

double the new weight of the link

setDecay

public static void setDecay(DecayIF newDecayCalculator)

Sets the implementation if DecayIF to be used for the calculation of decays.

Parameters:

newDecayCalculator - the decay implementation
