Agents
This section should describe the basic structure of an Agent, the basic Agent
class and the helper and loader classes.
The Agent class had to meet several requirements. It should
provide a good base to let the user write their own Agent. The use of the basic
services as communication and the MAFFinder should be as easy as possible. Also
should have the Agent itself an easy to understand and to extend structure.
On the other side is an Agent considered as possible foreign code from which
the System and the other Agents have to be protected. This results in a kind
of sand box in which an Agent executes.
