[Modeling] about modeling environment in agent-basedsimulation

[Ye Chaoqun]

Hello James,

    I have read your paper: "Modeling Agents and their Environment". As it described, physical environment can be expressed as a two-tuple:

                                Environment=<State, Process>

Then there are two questions I am concerned about:

 -the state includes the agents and objects within the environment, how to represented them in environment model?

 -how to control the effect of actions of agents onto environment independently of the internal architecture of the agents?



with regards,
