[Swarm-Support] Re: Swarm Map Java Example

[Kanagaraj Krishna]

Hi,
   Currently I'm looking into designing a new trust management model 
for use in multi agent trading environment. I plan to run a simulation 
of this model using SWARM in java. In this model:

-each agent/multi agent system will have their trust ratings updated 
after each meeting and also keep past trading data. 
-the agents and multi agent system in my model will have to communicate 
with each other in order to make decisions (getting recommendation 
form others to form trading partners). 

I found out that Swarm Map was suitable for this purpose. where 
each agent keeps a Swarm Map in which it files "memory" objects, 
one for each other agent it meets and updates those memories.  Is 
there any good java version of examples similar to the 
cultureWrappedListBatchRaster-990823.tar etc, that uses swarm maps. 

Are there any java tutorials or examples that involves this kind of methods 
especially:
- interaction between multi agents.
- agents create slave agents to go and get information about other 
agents in the society and also to do transactions. 
-the interactions and all kind of data during the simulation must 
be kept in a file format (text, hdf5 etc) for analysis.
 
Thanks,
Kana
