Changeset 1285 for trunk/autoquest-core-tasktrees/src/main/java

Timestamp:

07/30/13 09:44:39 (11 years ago)

Author:

Message:

• improved performance of task instance trie generation by using different symbol management strategies while creating the trie. This performance improvement is significant and allows to detect tasks now in a much faster manner.

Location:

trunk/autoquest-core-tasktrees/src/main/java/de/ugoe/cs/autoquest/tasktrees/temporalrelation

Files:

• SequenceForTaskDetectionRule.java (modified) (26 diffs)
• TaskComparator.java (modified) (7 diffs)
• TaskHandlingStrategy.java (added)
• TaskIdentityComparator.java (added)
• TaskInstanceTrie.java (modified) (9 diffs)
• TaskSymbolBucketedMap.java (added)
• TaskSymbolIdentityMap.java (added)
