Class V

java.lang.Object
org.proforma.variability.transfer.V
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<V>
Direct Known Subclasses:
Vis, Vns
public abstract class V extends Object implements Comparable<V>, Serializable

A V object is a variant, i. e. a possible value taken by a variation point.

A variant can be represented as a specification, that has to be resolved before materializing a task or an artifact, or as a value.

Variant objects belong to a variation point. Usually a template specification defines several possible values for each variation point. The possible values are defined either by a set of V objects or by a set of value ranges represented by a first and a last V object.

The V objects have a type that is taken from the associated variation point. There are interval scaled and nominal scaled variants (see Vis and Vns).
