I've used agents, and am familiar with the "reactive agent" concept as presented on the page http://clojure.org/agents
I just now decided to look into the background of this distinction (as opposed to the combined state+behavior version of agents that one sees elsewhere) and am stumped. When I try to look up "reactive agents" I see descriptions of an AI concept that doesn't map very cleanly to what the docs above describe. So, I think I understand what agents are, but what I am wondering is why are they so different from what everyone else calls agents, and furthermore, why use that name given that they describe something so different? Perhaps there is an article, or an implementation in another language, or a book somewhere that would help bridge that gap? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
