Package de.uka.ipd.sdq.sensorframework.storage.lists

Interface ISerialiser<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:
DoubleSerialiser, ParameterValueSerialiser, StateSerializer
public interface ISerialiser<T>
Deprecated.
Superseded by EDP2.
Interface used by the BackgroundMemoryList to serialise the elements of the list into bytestreams and vice versa. The elements serialised form has to have a constant memory footprint. Otherwise using the BackgroundMemoryList will not work as it relies on the constant sizes to seek in the background storage and calculate the number of elements.
