      gridiq.agents.GridIQAgent

All Implemented Interfaces:

jade.core.TimerListener, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Runnable

public class GridIQAgent
extends jade.core.Agent

The super class for JADE agents that can interact with GridIQ. This class provides the behaviour that enables agents to receive simulation results and obtain a reference to a bus in a GridIQ network.

Method Detail

setup

protected void setup()

The initial setup of the agent. Takes the first instantiation argument to the agent as a reference to the Bus this agent can control. This setup method also enables object2Agent communication and adds a ReceiveBusData behaviour to this agent.

Overrides:

setup in class jade.core.Agent

setBusResult

public void setBusResult(BusResult bus)

Sets the current simulation result for the agent. The agent time step is updated to the time step specified in the simulation result.

Parameters:

bus - The bus simulation result to set for this agent.

getTimestep

public int getTimestep()

Gets the current simulation time step according to this agent.

Returns:

the current time step for this agent.

getBus

public Bus getBus()

Gets the bus this agent controls.

Returns:

the bus this agent controls.

getBusResult

public BusResult getBusResult()

Gets the most recent simulation result received by this agent

Returns:

the most recent simulation result received by this agent.
