Interface BigraphHashFunction<B extends Bigraph<? extends Signature<?>>>

All Known Implementing Classes:
PureBigraphHash
public interface BigraphHashFunction<B extends Bigraph<? extends Signature<?>>>
Base interface to implement hash functions for bigraphs. Note that some hash functions may not necessarily compute unique hashes. It may be a computational efficient implementation which just considers the interfaces but not the overall structure of the bigraph.
