Abstract

Methods for processing a one-directional message transmitted by a currently running agent for an agent transaction context (ATC) are presented, the ATC configured to process a transaction utilizing any of a number of active agents in a multiagent system using a computing device including: causing the computing device to determine whether a destination agent designated as a destination for the one-directional message is present in an agent list corresponding with the ATC, where the agent list includes the active agents required for executing a number of threads; and if the destination agent is present in the agent list, storing the one-directional message in an intramessage queue, where the intra-transaction message queue corresponds with the ATC and is configured to store a number of one-directional messages, and where the number of one-directional messages are associated with the transaction.
