Dear all,
Thanks for your response Arash and Mohammed!
Arash, I understand what you tell me. However, I guess, center agents dont
implement 'act()' method (?), Is it true?
What do you think?, I need know whether this is the last message fireStation
agent is receiving or not from fireBrigades. I Just am implementing 'hear'
method in My FireStation agent.
Thanks a lot,
Carla.
