Interface Agent

All Superinterfaces:

EventListener

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractAgent

public interface Agent
extends EventListener

A simulated agent. Every agent has a strategy, which specifies the behaviour of the agent.

Method Summary

double	getPayoff()
double	getPayoffDelta()
Strategy	getStrategy()
void	initialise() Initialise the agent.
boolean	isInteracted() Find out whether the agent has interacted with the environment or other agents.
void	setScheduler(EventScheduler eventScheduler) Set the event scheduler for this agent.
void	setStrategy(Strategy strategy) Configure the current Strategy for this agent.
