The kind of agents you propose enters in the category of template agents
that we would like to include in the specification, if your agents are
really different from BDI agents or cognitive agents in the sense that
some "attributes" are present in your agents and not in others (some
attributes that can differenciate your agents from others), please
inform us and give us enough information to write a template for the
specification. What's the opinion of others?

Cheers,
Marc-Philippe
