Communication

Communication between agents is an essential part of SCOP Framework. It is important because it allows the agents to interact with each other and share information. This helps the agents to make better decisions and also helps to form more realistic simulations of complex systems. Communication between agents also allows for emergent behavior to develop, which can be used to create more realistic simulations of the real world. By allowing agents to interact with each other, the simulated environment can become more dynamic and responsive to changes in the environment or the agents, allowing for more realistic simulations of complex systems.

For effective communication, SCOP Framework uses a well defined addressing scheme. Based on this scheme, SCOP Framework currently supports two types of communication:

• (1) through a multi-threaded scheme using shared message queues, and
• (2) using one of the most widely used communication protocols in the IoT and Cloud Community called MQTT.
