Class ProfileManagingAgent

java.lang.Object
  jade.core.Agent
      ibspan.tss.agents.SystemAgent
          ibspan.tss.agents.pma.ProfileManagingAgent

All Implemented Interfaces:

TimerListener, Serializable, Runnable

public final class ProfileManagingAgent
extends SystemAgent

The agent responsible for creating and learning user profiles and providing them to other agents. It requires agent of the following services registered in Directory Facilator:

• RestaurantServiceAgent -- to obtain domain ontology and detailed information about restaurants during learning process
• SessionHandlingAgent -- at which the agent subscribes for new events being a base for learning process.
  The latter requirement is optional. The agent will provide all functionality, but not learning. This is done, because two agents (SessionHandlingAgent and ProfileManagingAgent cannot wait for registration of each of them, since this could lead to circular deadlock.
