Interface CognitiveModelFactory

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractCognitiveModelFactory, CognitiveModelLiteFactory, MultithreadedCognitiveModelFactory

public interface CognitiveModelFactory
extends java.io.Serializable

The CognitiveModelFactory interface defines an interface for creating a new CognitiveModel using a predefined set of CognitiveModules, as created by CognitiveModuleFactories. The reason it exists is to provide an easy way for multiple models to be created using the same set of modules and (potentially) share parameters and modules. This could conserve memory is large-scale simulations and such. If you're not a large-scale simulation or don't need to conserve memory, don't worry: nothing changes for you.
