Great thanks for the quick answer.
Your advise led me another idea/question. You say it should be realized with
agent-specific identifiers and rules that distinguish these identifiers. In your book
Jess In Action you describe modules as a kind of namespace for templates and rules. I was
just wondering whether it wouldn't be the easiest solution to use the same rules and
facts as I use now and just to separate them in module - each agent will have his rules
and facts stored in his own modules? This way I would be able to use old code
and same rules for all agents. The other question is the performance. I don't know how
Jess will cope with several hundreds (maybe thousand) of modules.
Thanks again for all efforts in beforehand
kind regards

Hello everybody,
I working on the model from the field of social simulation. I am
using RePast and Jess to make my agents think in a declarative way. At
the moment I have a separate Jess instance for every agent (300 agents
= 300 Rete instances).
Don't do that. Just use one Jess instance. Facts that are specific to
one agent should include an agent-specific identifier, and rules that
operate on these facts should take care to match them as needed to
keep the various agent's logical processes separate.
