Interface VariableListener<EntityG>

All Known Implementing Classes:

SingletonInverseVariableListener

public interface VariableListener<EntityG>

Changes shadow variables when a genuine planning variable changes.

Important: it must only change the shadow variable for which it's configured! It should never change a genuine variable or a problem fact. It can change its shadow variable on multiple entity instances (for example: an arrivalTime change affects all trailing entities too)

Each ScoreDirector has a different VariableListener instance, so it can be stateful.
