cz.cuni.amis.pogamut.base.component.bus.event
Interface IStartingPausedEvent<SOURCE extends IComponent>

Type Parameters:

SOURCE -

All Superinterfaces:

IComponentEvent<SOURCE>

All Known Implementing Classes:

StartingPausedEvent

public interface IStartingPausedEvent<SOURCE extends IComponent>
extends IComponentEvent<SOURCE>

This event is similar to IStartingEvent, it marks that the component is going to start. In contrast to starting event, it is additionally telling that after the start, the component is going to be paused, i.e., it won't broadcast IStartedEvent but it will broadcast IPausedEvent.

Such event is needed if we need to synchronize the start of the multi-agent simulation where we have to

1. construct all agent instances
2. start all agent instances in paused state
3. resume all agent instances at once

Otherwise we're facing the trouble that some agent will become effective in the environment before others crippling the plausibility of such simulation and violating agent's assumptions (that there are comrades / enemies present in the environment from the beginning of the simulation).
