class AgentTimerQueue

extends TimerQueue

implements TimerAction

An extension of a TimerQueue where the method doTimerAction calls the same method in the agent system provided at creatiom. This class is necessary, so doTimerAction in AgentSystem can have package access. Otherwise it would have to be public to implement TimerAction and could be accessed by every agent, which might be a security problem.
