public class DualRequest
extends Actuator

This actuator enables an agent to make a request to another agent. This actuator is used when both the standard message transport service and the the peer to peer message transport service are in operation. To indicate that the peer to peer message transport service is to be used, the functor of the first argument of the trigger must be p2p, otherwise the standard service will be used. The trigger for the actuator is request(?agent,?content). The ?agent variable represents the agent to whom the request is being made. The ?content variable represents the information content of the request.
