3. Message Delivery • Communication between different Environments within the Simulation is coordinated with a Message delivery system • Each Environment has an Inbox, an Outbox, and a MessageHandler who knows how to sort/deliver Messages. • Messages include a delivery address and some Agent Information (pointer, actual Agent object, or perhaps other descriptors ) • Each Environment must take three actions per Step • ReceiveAgents (Take Messages in Inbox and distribute to the appropriate AgentLists) • UpdateAgents (Update sub-Environments first, then update all AgentLists) • SendAgents (Take any Messages placed in the Outbox during the Step and deliver it to the appropriate Inboxes) • Some Caveats • The Simulation Object only has an Inbox as it does not generate any of its own Messages to be delivered. • SpaceEnvironments would need to know the address of neighboring SpaceEnvironments • Addressing convention must be assumed that can correctly route the Messages to the right AgentList within the right Environment

4. Order of Operations • Simulation • Calls Update on Clock • Delivers Messages to all SpaceEnvironments • Calls Update on all SpaceEnvironments • SpaceEnvironments • ReceiveMessages: Deliver Messages in Inbox to correct PondEnvironment or AgentList • Update: • Call Update on all PondEnvironments • Call Update on all AgentLists • SendMessages: Send messages in Outbox to correct destinations • PondEnvironments • ReceiveMessages: deliver Messages in Inbox to correct AgentList • Update: Call Update on all AgentLists • Send Messages in Outbox to correct destinations • Agents • Call Update on Strategy/Current State • State • Determine Death • Determine NextState • Send Messages • Update Necessary Statistics
