Method Detail

getFromDirectory

public void getFromDirectory(java.io.File directory)

activate

public void activate()
Description copied from class: AbstractAgent
This method is initially called when the micro-kernel registers the agent. Usually a good place to set up some initial groups and roles.

Here is a typical example (taken from the PingPong agent of MadKit (plugin demos)) :

public void activate()
{
        try {
                createGroup(true,"ping-pong",null,null);
                println ("No ping-pong group : I created one");
                creator=true;
        } catch (OrganizationRequestException e) { // the group already exists
                creator=false;
                println ("A ping-pong group already exists : I will join");
        }
        requestRole("ping-pong","player",null);
}
 

Overrides:
activate in class AbstractAgent

updateFormalisms

protected void updateFormalisms(Formalism f)

handleMessage

protected void handleMessage(SEditMessage m)

getFormalism

public Formalism getFormalism(java.lang.String _name)

live

public void live()
Description copied from class: Agent
This method defines the main behavior of threaded agents.

Overrides:
live in class Agent
