public class CycAgentProxy
extends GenericAgent

Provides a proxy for a cyc agent on the CoABS grid or FIPA-OS agent community.

An instance of this class is created for each unique cyc agent which makes itself known to the CycProxy. A cyc image can host one or more cyc agents. Each message envelope from a cyc agent contains a parameter to indicate which agent agent community processes the messge - either the CoABS grid (Darpa & gov) or the FIPA-OS platform (OpenCyc).

Field Detail

### agentsCycConnection

    public CycConnection agentsCycConnection

  One CycConnection object to send and receive asynchronous messsages with the Cyc server. All Cyc-hosted agents share this bidirectional connection.

Constructor Detail

### CycAgentProxy

    public CycAgentProxy(java.lang.String myAgentName,
                         int verbosity)

  Constructs a CycProxy object for the given agent on both agent communities.
  Parameters:
    `myAgentName` - name of the local agent
    `verbosity` - the verbosity of this agent adapter's output. 0 --> quiet ... 9 -> maximum diagnostic input

### CycAgentProxy

    public CycAgentProxy(java.lang.String myAgentName,
                         int remoteAgentCommunity,
                         int verbosity)

  Constructs a CycProxy object for the given agent on the given agent community.
  Parameters:
    `myAgentName` - name of the local agent
    `remoteAgentCommunity` - indicates either CoAbs or FIPA-OS agent community
    `verbosity` - the verbosity of this agent adapter's output. 0 --> quiet ... 9 -> maximum diagnostic input

Method Detail

### messageReceived

    public void messageReceived(int remoteAgentCommunity,
                                fipaos.ont.fipa.ACL acl)

  Notifies my agent that an Agent Communication Language message has been received.
  Overrides:
    `messageReceived` in class `GenericAgent`
  Parameters:
    `remoteAgentCommunity` - indicates either CoAbs or FIPA-OS agent community
    `acl` - the Agent Communication Language message which has been received for my agent

### handleMessageToCyc

    public void handleMessageToCyc(int remoteAgentCommunity,
                                   fipaos.ont.fipa.ACL acl)

  Handles a message from a remote agent to a Cyc-hosted agent.
  Parameters:
    `remoteAgentCommunity` - indicates either CoAbs or FIPA-OS agent community
    `processApiRequest` - the echo request Agent Communication Language message

### handleMessageFromCyc

    protected void handleMessageFromCyc(CycList fipaTransportMessage)

  Handles one inbound asynchronous message from a Cyc-hosted agent. Creates a CycAgentProxy object if the Cyc-hosted agent is new. Forwards the inbound message to the CycAgentProxy, which in turn forwards it to the agent community.
  Parameters:
    `fipaTransportMessage` - the message from a Cyc-hosted agent
