public interface AffectOperator<T>

Generic Affectation Operator definition . Those affectation operators are used when several candidate values are simultaneously affected to an Entity's property. That situation happens when an entity is connected to several others in an interaction graph and the interaction service assigns a new value to one property of that entity. New values will come from every arc of the graph that is connected to the entity. An affectation operator is used to avoid any affectation conflict and perform the appropriate operation in case of multiple values.

Method Summary

T	compute(java.util.ArrayList<T> future) Computes all the candidate values and produces one unique value of the same type to be used for property affectation.
