Next: Trials and Trajectories Up: The WORLD SIMULATOR Previous: AGENT STATE Contents
The WORLD SIMULATOR must be a durable state object - it must be possible to save the entire state (including MAP, the AGENT's current state, locations of REWARDs, etc.) of the WORLD simulator to disk and retrieve it again later. The designer MAY use the Java serialization mechanism to provide this functionality or MAY provide some alternate mechanism.
