Dear Carla,
The current message-processing scheme in YabAPI is
provided to the agent-developers by calling a method
named 'hear' when a message is received. The developer
can implement this abstract method and put the desired
code in it in order to decide if it should be processed
and processing it if so. There, the problem is that
you don't know whether this is the last message your
agent is receiving or not. The other problem is that
you have a local view in order to decide whether to
read this message or not.
Now, the question is how to solve this problem. As
the simplest solution, you can save the sender and
the content of the message your agent receives in a
buffer and then in the 'act' method of the next cycle
you can start choosing the messages to read and then
process the messages you have chosen. This can be
done more systematically by slightly modifying YabAPI
in order to do these tasks automatically and provide
you with a method to choose the message you have
received and then sends the chosen messages to another
method in order to be processed.
