<pre>the system seems to operate and was wondering if anyone could point me to a<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>section of documentation (chapter of the manual / wiki / external how-to<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>blog post... whatever) that will clear things up for me.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>I would like to use Drools Flow to define behaviors of agents as Flow<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Processes to create an agent-based simulation. This application requires<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>that the processes are kept synchronized with each other by a simulated<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>(faster than real time) clock.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Is there a Drools mechanism that enables this? Would I need to create a set<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>of WorkItemHandler classes that perform the synchronization manually? Is<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>what I want to do not really practical within the Drools Flow framework?<o:p></o:p></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have something prototyped and it works, but I need to refactor the api and make it much simpler. so if you use it, expect it to change a lot and get a lot simpler and better :)<br>
