Creates a new AttributeIntervalNode as specified by the knowledge-base parser.

See the dissertation document for details on how these parameters are defined and used.

Parameters:

lower_bound_attribute_name - - the lower-bound attribute name

upper_bound_attribute_name - - the upper-bound attribute name

dimension_properties - - the properties associated with this range

                             java.util.ArrayList dimension_properties)

Creates a new AttributeIntervalNode as specified by the knowledge-base parser.

See the dissertation document for details on how these parameters are defined and used.

Parameters:

lower_bound_attribute_name - - the lower-bound attribute name

lower_bound_adjustment - - the adjustment of the lower bound

upper_bound_attribute_name - - the upper-bound attribute name

upper_bound_adjustment - - the adjustment of the upper bound

dimension_properties - - the properties associated with this range

Method Detail

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object other_attribute_interval_node)

Returns the comparison of two attribute-interval nodes based lexicographically on their lower-bound attribute.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable

Parameters:

other_attribute_interval_node - - the other attribute-interval node to compare

Returns:

the comparison result

String.compareTo(java.lang.String)

getAttributeBoundCode

public int getAttributeBoundCode(java.lang.String attribute_name)

Returns whether an attribute name refers to the lower or upper bound of this interval.

Parameters:

attribute_name - - the attribute name

Returns:

CODE_LOWER_BOUND_SUGGESTED for suggested lower bound, CODE_UPPER_BOUND_SUGGESTED for suggested upper bound, or CODE_NONE if the attribute is not part of the interval

getClone

public AttributeIntervalNode getClone()

Returns a clone of this object.

Returns:

the clone

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of this object.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the String representation
