Sorry, but because of my still superficial knowledge of Swarm, often I
don't understand.
this's the schedule of actions in my ModelSwarm:

  msActionGroup=[ActionGroup create:[self getZone]];
 [msActionGroup createActionForEach: agentList   message:
M(processMessage)]; //this is the action that takes a lot to complete
 [msActionGroup createActionTo         : self            message:
M(formCoalitions)];
 [msActionGroup createActionForEach: agentList   message:
M(decideAction)];
 [msActionGroup createActionTo         : self           message:
M(shareTotalProduct)];

msSchedule=[Shedule createBegin:[self getZone]];
[msSchedule setRepeatInterval:1];
msSchedule[msSchedule createEnd];
[msSchedule at: 0 createAction: msActionGroup];

ObserverSwarm schedule is simply:

obActionGroup=[ActionGroup create:[self getZone]];
[obActionGroup createActionTo:actionCache  message: M(doTkEvents)];

obSchedule=[Schedule createBegin:[self getZone]];
[obSchedule setRepeatInterval: displayFrequency]; //displayFrequency = =1
obSchedule=[obSchedule createEnd];
[obSchedule at:0 createActionTo:  obActionGroup];

What do I have to change or add?
Thanks,Fabio.
