agentgui.simulationService.sensoring.ServiceActuatorManager

public class ServiceActuatorManager
extends java.lang.Object

This is the class for an actuator of the SimulationService, which is able to inform all connected SimulationManagerAgent with an integrated ServiceSensorManager about the environment changes caused by SimulationAgent (sometimes called agentAnswers).

ServiceActuatorManager

public ServiceActuatorManager()

Method Detail

plugIn

public void plugIn(ServiceSensorManager currSensor)

Method for agents to plug-in to this actuator.

Parameters:

currSensor - the ServiceSensorManager to plug-in

plugOut

public void plugOut(ServiceSensorManager currSensor)

Method to plug-out from this actuator

Parameters:

currSensor - the ServiceSensorManager to plug-out

getSensor

public ServiceSensorManager getSensor(jade.core.AID aid)

This method returns the ServiceSensor-Instance identified by the AID of the agent.

Parameters:

aid - the AID of the agent

Returns:

the ServiceSensorManager

putAgentAnswers

public void putAgentAnswers(jade.core.AID managerAID,
                            java.util.Hashtable<jade.core.AID,java.lang.Object> agentAnswers,
                            boolean aSynchron)

This method informs the manager agent about the answers of all involved agents. It can be either used to do this asynchronously or asynchronously, but it. is highly recommended to do this asynchronously, so that the agents can act parallel and not sequential.

Parameters:

managerAID - the AID of the manager agent

agentAnswers - the agent answers

aSynchron - true, if this should be don asynchronously

notifyManager

public boolean notifyManager(jade.core.AID managerAID,
                             EnvironmentNotification notification)

Notify manager.

Parameters:

managerAID - the AID of the manager

notification - the EnvironmentNotification

Returns:

true, if successful

notifyManagerPauseSimulation

public void notifyManagerPauseSimulation(boolean isPauseSimulation)

Notify that simulation has to be paused or not.

Parameters:

isPauseSimulation - the is pause simulation
