Currently working on a scalable model for a manufacturing company. The model is required to allow products to go through a series of processes, and I am trying to model each process as its population of agents so that the process can be scaled up in quantity easily. However, I need to set in a list (or work plan) for each product containing the population of agents that they are required to pass through. How can I create a collection to store these different sets of populations of agents?

- Drag the Collection element from the Agent palette onto the graphical diagram of agent type or experiment.
- Name it. For example,
myCollection - Choose the type you want: ARRAYLIST, LINKEDLIST, LINKEDHASHSET, TREESET, TREEMAP, LINKEDHASHMAP
- Choose the element class. Maybe
ObjectorAgent. - Use
myCollection.add(agent)to add the agents you want to the collection.
Could you store each collection in a hashmap? Use the A,B,etc as the key?
HashMap<String, ArrayList> hmAgentLists = new HashMap<String, ArrayList>();
you can add different collections of agents to that, and then grab the right one using the key.
