High Granularity Adaptive Society of Agent Software?

Hi, I was thinking about how our society incentivizes behaviors by a collection of free individuals, so that the work of those individuals fulfils the requirements of the society as a whole. For example, people contribute by working, earn money, and use that money to gain a fair share of the contributions of others. It works for the mos...

What is the difference between Clojure's "send" and "send-off" functions with respect to dispatching an action to an agent?

The Clojure API describes these two functions as: (send a f & args) - Dispatch an action to an agent. Returns the agent immediately. Subsequently, in a thread from a thread pool, the state of the agent will be set to the value of: (apply action-fn state-of-agent args) and (send-off a f & args) - Dispatch a potentially blocking...

IP addresses of agents registered with the Main Container in JADE?

I have a website at the back end of which I have a JADE main container running. Multiple machines can register with this main container. So, I want to know if the JADE API supports getting the IP addresses of all the agents currently registered with the Main container? I have to eventually display this information on the website. Thanks...

How Clojure's agents compare to Scala's actors?

I wrote a simulation of the Ring network topology in Scala (source here) (Scala 2.8 RC7) and Clojure (source here) (Clojure 1.1) for a comparison of Actors and Agents. While the Scala version shows almost constant message exchange rate as I increase the number of nodes in network from 100 to 1000000, the Clojure version shows message r...

unbounded_buffer, _CrtSetDbgFlag and memory leaks

I am trying to use one of the new features - asynchronous agents library. I just added a unbounded_buffer m_myDataBuffer; to my C++ class, nothing more - no agent running yet. To enable memory leak detection in my application, I am using: #ifdef _DEBUG _CrtSetDbgFlag ( _CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF | _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF ); #endif But a...

Twitter stream api with agents in F#

Hello, From Don Syme blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dsyme/archive/2010/01/10/async-and-parallel-design-patterns-in-f-reporting-progress-with-events-plus-twitter-sample.aspx) I tried to implement a twitter stream listener. My goal is to follow the guidance of the twitter api documentation which says "that tweets should often be saved or q...

Twitter Streaming API recording and Processing using Windows Azure and F#

Hello, A month ago I tried to use F# agents to process and record Twitter StreamingAPI Data here. As a little exercise I am trying to transfer the code to Windows Azure. So far I have two roles: One worker role (Publisher) that puts messages (a message being the json of a tweet) to a queue. One worker role (Processor) that reads mes...
