public class SynchronousConsumerAgent
extends ConsumerAgent

A SynchronousConsumerAgent is an implementation of a Consumer agent that acts synchronously (centrally coordinated in determined order 'at the same time' in the same thread) This class is an implementation and doesn't add any more semantics to the agents.

Since ConsumerAgents intend to cover numerous, heterogeneous aspects of the simulation, a variety of concepts if found in their attributes. The attributes will be elaborated in the following

Parameters:

simulationContainer - The SimulationContainer the ConsumerAgent is to be part of (as a way to reference to other objects in the simulation)

attributes - ConsumerAgentAttributes the ConsumerAgent is to be initialized with

preferences - A set of preferences of the actor

correspondingNodeInSN - SNConsumerNode the actor corresponds to in the social network; used in order to dereference the social environment and position of the actor

adoptedProducts - Set of (initially) adopted Products of the ConsumerAgent

perceivedProductAttributeValues - A map to map each ProductAttribute to the perception the actor has of this product attribute

productAwarenessMap - A map for each product to indicate whether the actor is aware of this product or not

correspondingConsumerAgentGroup - The ConsumerAgentGroup the actor is part of

decisionProcessEmployed - The (default) decision process the actor uses in order to make decisions

spatialPosition - The initial position of the actor in simulation space

agentID - The ID to be refered to (String)
