Constructor Detail

Agent

public Agent(SimulationContainer associatedSimulationContainer)

An Agent is a SimulationEntity that is thought to exhibit (at least) autonomy, social ability, reactivity and proactiveness. Due to the diversity of Agent types however, these properties are not enforced by the definition of an agent as an (abstract) entity, but need to be ensured by the corresponding agents. As an entity that (also) interacts with other agents by providing information, every agent has an informationAuthority associated with them

Parameters:

associatedSimulationContainer - The container the simulation runs in
