Interface BehavioursPool
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- BehavioursPoolImpl
- public interface BehavioursPool
The BehavioursPool's interface is aimed at providing an internal scheduler of
node's behaviuours. At startup, behaviours are registered to the pool from
Behaviour.properties file, following the next syntax:
Class = Type, Mode, Probability
Then, a message interceptor is build up and is ready to invoke behaviours
when a message pattern matches to those provided by Behaviour.properties
file.
