Structure of an Agent

Figure: Structure of an Agent
19#19

The classes AgentLoader and AgentHelper are used to protect the System and the other Agents from the Agent. An Agent does not have direct access to the platform and the methods of the platform. The AgentHelper functions as a wrapper for calls to the System. The AgentLoader is used to control the Agent and to run it in its own thread group.
