passing On the AgentID

[Faraz Fallahi]

Hi

ive attached three simpleAgents to illustrate my problem. i want to give an integer (question variable) to agent b. he shall add +1 to the integer and pass it to agent c who will add +5 to it and send the result back to agent a.

how can i do this? i marked the critical points by a "// !!-------------------------------!!" commentary.

greetings fa

Hi,

 

Is the sequence of agents to propagate the request to predefined?

Does agent A-n+1 depends on the processing performed by Agent-n?

 

Bye,

 

Giovanni

Hi,

 

I’m not sure I have correctly understood what the problem is. Anyway I would implement things as follows.

 

public class AgentN extends Agent {

  ...

  protected void setup() {

    addBehaviour(new CyclicBehaviour(this) {

      public void action() {

        ACLMessage msg = myAgent.receive(some-template);

        if (msg != null) {

          // 1 - Parse the request

          // 2 - Update request if necessary

          // 3 - Identify agent N+1

          // 4 - Forward the request to agent N+1

        }

        else {

          block();

        }

      }

    });

  }

  ...

}

 

If the code necessary to implement operations 1,2,3,4 is fairly complex (and possibly requires interactions with other agents) maybe it is better to enclose it into a behaviour as below

 

public class AgentN extends Agent {

  ...

  protected void setup() {

    addBehaviour(new CyclicBehaviour(this) {

      public void action() {

        ACLMessage msg = myAgent.receive(some-template);

        if (msg != null) {

          myAgent.addBehaviour(new RequestServer(msg);

        }

        else {

          block();

        }

      }

    });

  }

  ...

 

  private class RequestServer ....

 

}

Hi,

 

Is the sequence of agents to propagate the request to predefined?

yes, it can either be
agenta calls agentb which calls agent c which calls agenta or
agenta calls agentb which calls agent d which calls agenta
 

Does agent A-n+1 depends on the processing performed by Agent-n?

yes it does. the object passed from a to b to c will be modified in b before passed through.
 

 

Bye,

Giovanni

thank you very much giovanni for the help i do really need this implemented.

greetings fa
