Interface ChooseBlockYardStrategy

All Known Implementing Classes:

MostFreePlaceBlockYardStrategy, RandomBlockYardStrategy

public interface ChooseBlockYardStrategy

A ChooseBlockYardStrategy is an interface and presents the strategy that is used by the Yard to find a certain block to store or retrieve a container there. The method getBlock(Block[] blocks) that gives the needed block must be implemented by the user in a class that implements TransportStrategy to define the strategy which will be used by the yard. ChooseBlockYardStrategy is part of the strategy design pattern as described in [Gamm97] page 333 in which it represents the strategy interface.
