[Swarm-Support] Re: Opinions among swarm agents

[Kanagaraj Krishna]

Hi,
   I'm working on a simulation regarding management of trust among agents in 
multi-agent system trading society. I'm using java SWARM.

-Each agent in this model keeps info on past meetings with other agents for 
trading. It keeps info such as (AgentID, trust rating, no of meetings, time of 
meetings).

-Each agents have a list of their known/trusted(friends etc..) agents to get 
info/opinion(trust rating) on other agents in the soiety before trading with 
them. 

This involves a lot of info, can Map be used for both functions, because as I 
know it only keeps 2 kinds of info (ID,key). How can i fit all the infos using 
Maps during simulation. 

Are there any other alternative options?
