Interface CognitiveModel

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractCognitiveModel, AbstractCognitiveModelLite, CognitiveModelLite, MultithreadedCognitiveModel

public interface CognitiveModel
extends java.io.Serializable

The CognitiveModel interface defines the basic functionality of a cognitive model. In particular, a model must have an update function, a method for getting the current state, a method for resetting the state, and methods for attaching listeners to the model.

Since:

1.0
