CrossoverPointRecombination (de.uni_marburg.mdo-over 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- de.uni_marburg.mdo_over.recombination.crossoverpoint.CrossoverPointRecombination

All Implemented Interfaces:

IRecombinationStrategy
```
public class CrossoverPointRecombination
extends Object
implements IRecombinationStrategy
```
A recombination strategy based on the notion of a crossover point as discussed in the papers A Generic Construction for Crossovers of Graph-Like Structures and Towards a configurable crossover operator for model-driven optimization. * In short, the crossover point specifies which model elements should be identified when two parts of the given parent models are recombined.
An IInferenceStrategy needs to be provided specifying the desired crossover point. A crossover point may contain ModelNodes for which the respective original nodes in the parents differ with regard to their attribute values. Additionally, attribute values might depend on the underlying model (e.g., derived attributes). For these cases an IAttributeProcessor needs to specify how the respective attribute values can be calculated for the offspring of the recombination. A Henshin engine needs to be provided as graph transformation rules are used to recombine model parts.
