Class PullPushStrategyPureRecommenderPropagationMechanism<U extends java.io.Serializable,​I extends java.io.Serializable,​P>

java.lang.Object
es.uam.eps.ir.relison.diffusion.propagation.PullPushStrategyPureRecommenderPropagationMechanism<U,​I,​P>
Type Parameters:
U - type of the users.
I - type of the information pieces.
P - type of the parameters.
All Implemented Interfaces:
PropagationMechanism<U,​I,​P>
public class PullPushStrategyPureRecommenderPropagationMechanism<U extends java.io.Serializable,​I extends java.io.Serializable,​P>
extends java.lang.Object
implements PropagationMechanism<U,​I,​P>
Propagation mechanism for the so-called rumour spreading propagation mechanism. Following this strategy, each user selects a user each iteration: he catches the information from such user, and shares with him the information he has. It is a combination of the pull and push propagation mechanisms. A certain amount of time has to pass before a neighbor is selected again. This variant only allows propagating information through recommended links.

    Modifier and Type Method Description
    boolean dependsOnInformationPiece()
    This indicates whether the selection of the users depends or not on the information piece which we want to propagate.
