Michel,
 
Re. direct communication, each agent has access to the context (think a Java
collection in this case) in which all the agents reside. Using that you can
get a reference to each agent from every other agent. Alternatively, you
could have a class that handles all the interagent negotiation. Note that
this latter is not the "environment" but rather an example of how to
decompose your model into code.
 
In the future, please use the repast-interest list and not repast-developer.
repast-developer is for developer communication and issues with the
development of the software itself. repast-interest is for model development
and user support. Thanks.
 
Nick

Hi,

i wanna work on a sahred taxis problem and traffic simulation for a town ;
with multi objectif constraints in wich i must satisfy clients demands in
real time.
I wanna model my problem by using a decentralised approch in wich each taxi
optimise its ways trying to satisfaying 
an economic probem and every client requests. the scenario is :
1 A client call the central.
2 The central sends a broadcast message to the taxis in the geographical
zone from wich the client desires to go .
3 The concened taxis will negociate between them for choose the most
appropriate one to serve the client; these taxis must negociate directly
(and not via the environement as in ant algorithm
in wich each ant follows pheromon deposed by other ants)
 I hope know if it is feasible in repast simphony because in many multi
agent platfrom, the communication between agents is not direct and pass via
the environement.
is it feasible in simphony??
is  there any documentation about this subject??

Thank your for your help
 
Michel
