Package madkit.kernel

package madkit.kernel

Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of MaDKit applications. This package is the heart of MaDKit. Especially, it contains the agent main classes: AbstractAgent and Agent. AbstractAgent is not threaded while Agent is. The former is useful to develop simulation applications and the later could be used where you need autonomy of execution.

Since:

MaDKit 1.0

Version:

5.0
