Interface IMediator

All Known Implementing Classes:
Mediators

public interface IMediator

this is the interface which every mediator must fulfill!!

Since:
JDK 1.3
See Also:
Mediators, IModule, Modules

Method Summary
 java.lang.Object fix(IModule module)
          given a single module, fixpoint construct a final result by feeding the module with its own output; this computation, of course, must not terminate;
 java.lang.Object par(IModule[] modules)
          given an array of modules, parallelism constructs the final result of a (quasi-)parallel independent computation of an arbitrary number of modules, from the output of these modules;
 java.lang.Object seq(IModule module1, IModule module2)
          given two modules, sequence mediates the input to module2, computed from the output of module1;

seq

java.lang.Object seq(IModule module1,
                     IModule module2)
given two modules, sequence mediates the input to module2, computed from the output of module1;
