ORG-2: Entering Known Abilities

Whereas the previous activity dealt with the identities and relationships of acquaintances, this activity deals with their abilities. This is particularly useful for setting up preferred supply relationships, since if an agent knows an acquaintance can provide a resource it contact it first before asking the directory service to recommend a supplier.

To add a new ability, ensure the relevant acquaintance is selected and click the button. You can now edit the time, cost, and attribute values of the fact concerned.
