java.lang.Object

astra.core.Agent.Promise

Enclosing class:

Agent

public abstract static class Agent.Promise
extends Object

Promises are used to implement WAIT statements. When one of these statements is executed, the agent creates a promise and suspends the intention. Promises are evaluated on each iteration. When a promise is fulfilled (i.e. the associated formula is matched), the agent executes the associated act(ion) which typically resumes the intention.
