9.9. Allocate To Value From Queue

9.9.1. Algorithm Description

Allocate To Value From Queue works like this:

  1. Put all values in a round-robin queue.
  2. Assign the best entity to the first value (from that queue).
  3. Repeat until all entities are assigned.

9.9.2. Configuration

Simple configuration:

  <constructionHeuristic>
    <constructionHeuristicType>ALLOCATE_TO_VALUE_FROM_QUEUE</constructionHeuristicType>
  </constructionHeuristic>

Verbose simple configuration:

  <constructionHeuristic>
    <constructionHeuristicType>ALLOCATE_TO_VALUE_FROM_QUEUE</constructionHeuristicType>
    <entitySorterManner>DECREASING_DIFFICULTY_IF_AVAILABLE</entitySorterManner>
    <valueSorterManner>INCREASING_STRENGTH_IF_AVAILABLE</valueSorterManner>
  </constructionHeuristic>

Advanced detailed configuration. For example, a configuration for a single entity class with a single variable:

  <constructionHeuristic>
    <queuedValuePlacer>
      <valueSelector id="placerValueSelector">
        <cacheType>PHASE</cacheType>
        <selectionOrder>SORTED</selectionOrder>
        <sorterManner>INCREASING_STRENGTH</sorterManner>
      </valueSelector>
      <changeMoveSelector>
        <entitySelector>
          <cacheType>PHASE</cacheType>
          <selectionOrder>SORTED</selectionOrder>
          <sorterManner>DECREASING_DIFFICULTY</sorterManner>
        </entitySelector>
        <valueSelector mimicSelectorRef="placerValueSelector"/>
      </changeMoveSelector>
    </queuedValuePlacer>
  </constructionHeuristic>
