Class SimulationService

java.lang.Object

jade.core.BaseService

agentgui.simulationService.SimulationService

All Implemented Interfaces:

jade.core.Service

public class SimulationService
extends jade.core.BaseService

This is the SimulationService, which provides a list of functionalities for agent based simulations. These are namely:
- time synchronization for all involved (remote) container,
- methods to stop agents, that are using the Actuator/Sensor relationship between agents and this service,
- a method to pause a running simulation,
- methods to transport an EnvironmentModel model to all connected agents in an asynchronous way and
- methods to receive changes or notifications from single SimulationAgent
