Hellow everybody,
As far as I know, messages from the agents & simulators to the kernel do
not always arrive in the same order. This is because agents & simulators
sometimes may run a little faster or slower depending on the load of the
system. Therefore it would not seem logical to think about `the same seed
for each run', since communication issues prevent repeatable simulations
anyway.
I am currently in the process of writing a detailed document on these
issues. In a later stage my master thesis will become available at
http://www.science.uva.nl/~arnoud/research/roboresc/
For the moment however I have made the chapter about the RCRSS system
itself available at http://carol.science.uva.nl/~sbmpost/RCR/rcrss.ps
I think this chapter may prove a useful resource for all RoboCupRescue
participants.
