Hi Chris,<br><br>I had a similar problem a few days ago in regards with creating Agents dynamically during runtime. If you see the threads about Dynamic Agent Creation that have been posted a week ago you will get a better idea. <br>
<br>Basically you need to have a node.xml file where you specify your node details. You then have a Plugin that initialises your main Agent which you will use to generate new Agents. You need to generate an XML file for each Agent you are going to create, which you can then delete on Agent creation. Have a look at this email which explains everything in detail <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/cougaar-developers@cougaar.org/msg00014.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/cougaar-developers@cougaar.org/msg00014.html</a><br>
<br>I am a beginner with Cougaar too and followed the tutorials and emails in the cougaar developers mailing list which are very helpful. With the link I gave you I managed to dunamically create about 15000 Agents for some simulation experiments I am running. However I do not know if there is any way to create the Agents without the need for an XML file. Anyway please let me know if you need more help.<br>
