Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
BehaviouralProfile<M,N>	deriveBehaviouralProfile(M model) Returns the behavioural profile for the given model.
BehaviouralProfile<M,N>	deriveBehaviouralProfile(M model, Collection<N> entities) Returns the behavioural profile for the given collection of entities of the model.

Method Detail

deriveBehaviouralProfile

BehaviouralProfile<M,N> deriveBehaviouralProfile(M model)

Returns the behavioural profile for the given model. Depending on the concrete creator, the profile relations are computed for a distinguished set of entities. For instance, if the model is a Petri net, the behavioural profile may be derived for all nodes or all transitions.

Parameters:

model, - a model

Returns:

the behavioural profile of the model

deriveBehaviouralProfile

BehaviouralProfile<M,N> deriveBehaviouralProfile(M model,
                                               Collection<N> entities)

Returns the behavioural profile for the given collection of entities of the model. Creator classes may implicitly restrict this set. For instance, if the model is a Petri net, some creators may requires the set of entities to contain only transitions.

Parameters:

model, - a model

a - collection of entities of the model

Returns:

the behavioural profile of the model
