Class SnoozeOrder

java.lang.Object
  org.argouml.cognitive.critics.SnoozeOrder

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class SnoozeOrder

extends Object

implements Serializable

A Critic can be disabled for a certain amount of time by giving it the snooze command. Whereas most ControlMech's activate or deactivate Critic's based on evidence of the Designer's state of mind, this command allows the Designer to disable Critic's without stating any reason. However, after a period of time, the critic may become active again. We think this will often be convienent because Designer's have a lot of tacit knowledge about their own state of mind that is not worth making explicit.
