java.lang.Object
  art.cs.RuleMaster

public class RuleMaster

extends java.lang.Object

This class manage the short term learning of the classifier following the Environment-Rules-Agents (ERA) scheme introduced in Gilbert and Terna (2000).

"The Rule Masters, that can be interpreted as abstract representations of the cognition of the agent."

For more information on ERA http://web.econ.unito.it/terna/ct-era/ct-era.html.

This class is like a director that coordinate the operation performed by the CS (non learning) and is the owner of all the main lists used by the other classes. This class deals also with all the graphs specific for the CS. This class map one by one the operations performed by the user via the CsManager.
