Class TimeslotPhaseProcessor

java.lang.Object
  org.powertac.common.interfaces.TimeslotPhaseProcessor

public abstract class TimeslotPhaseProcessor
extends Object

Plugins must extend this class in order to be invoked during timeslot processing by the CompetitionControl. Each subclass must implement the activate() method to do its thing during a timeslot, and must call its superclass init() method during per-game initialization. Per-timeslot processing takes place in phases. See https://github.com/powertac/powertac-server/wiki/Competition-controller-timeslot-process for a summary of this process.

Constructor Detail

TimeslotPhaseProcessor

public TimeslotPhaseProcessor()

Method Detail

init

protected void init()

This method must be called in the per-game initialization code in each implementing class. This is where the timeslot phase registration gets done.

setTimeslotPhase

public void setTimeslotPhase(int newValue)

This is the Spring-accessible setter for the phase number

activate

public abstract void activate(org.joda.time.Instant time,
                              int phaseNumber)

This method gets called once during each timeslot. To get called, the module must first call the register(phaseNumber) method on CompetitionControl. The call will give the current simulation time and phase number in the arguments.
