  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    InstantiationMap
    getInstantationMap()
    Return the instantiation map of the parametric reaction rule
    B
    getReactum()
    Return the reactum of the reaction rule
    B
    getRedex()
    Return the redex of the reaction rule
    TrackingMap
    getTrackingMap()
    Returns the tracking map if one was specified for the rule.
    default boolean
    isParametricRule()
    A rule is parametric if its redex contains sites.
    default boolean
    isProperParametricRule()
    Checks if a parametric reaction rule is well-defined subject to the constraints: Redex and Reactum are lean (=no idle edges) R has no idle roots R has no idle names
    default boolean
    isRedexSimple()
    Checks whether the parametric redex is simple.
    boolean
    isReversible()
    A flag that indicates whether the rule can be also executed in reverse.

  • Method Details

    • getRedex

      B getRedex()
      Return the redex of the reaction rule
      Returns:
      the redex of the reaction rule

    • getReactum

      B getReactum()
      Return the reactum of the reaction rule
      Returns:
      the reactum of the reaction rule

    • isRedexSimple

      default boolean isRedexSimple()
      Checks whether the parametric redex is simple.
      Returns:
      true if the redex of the reaction rule is simple, otherwise false

    • isProperParametricRule

      default boolean isProperParametricRule()
      Checks if a parametric reaction rule is well-defined subject to the constraints:
      • Redex and Reactum are lean (=no idle edges)
      • R has no idle roots
      • R has no idle names
      Returns:
      true if the parametric reaction rule is well-defined, otherwise false

    • isParametricRule

      default boolean isParametricRule()
      A rule is parametric if its redex contains sites.
      Returns:
      true, if the rule is a parametric reaction rule.

    • isReversible

      boolean isReversible()
      A flag that indicates whether the rule can be also executed in reverse. For a rule R -> R' it means that R' -> R can also be used.

      This flag is usually evaluated in a reactive system class.

      Returns:
      true, if the rule can also be used reversely, otherwise false

    • getInstantationMap

      InstantiationMap getInstantationMap()
      Return the instantiation map of the parametric reaction rule
      Returns:
      the instantiation map of the parametric reaction rule

    • getTrackingMap

      TrackingMap getTrackingMap()
      Returns the tracking map if one was specified for the rule. A tracking map helps to trace node and link identities through reactions.
      Returns:
      the tracking map of the rule
