Activity #12, Step #1
Study Entities in the Domain Context
For each entity defined in the Activity #6-Step #1, you have to decide if it:
- is autonomous,
- has a local goal to pursue,
- has to interact with some other entities,
- and if it:
- has a partial view of the environment (this means that an entity can only perceive a small part of its environment, that it has only a partial knowledge about it),
- has some abilities of negotiation.
Entities verifying all the three first criteria may be viewed as agents. Before concluding, additional characteristics will be studied in the next step.
