AgendaManager not dynamic #1

Open KnowledgeGarden opened 2 years ago

KnowledgeGarden commented 2 years ago

Right now, AgendaManager is a static provider. It needs the following behaviors:

Each time a Task list is accessed, the priority values on each member must be "decayed" by a specific amount
Each Task list needs to be sorted on priority so that highest priority is fetched first, sorting after adding a task
An API is needed to allow for the adjustment (increase or decrease) of the priority on specified tasks; this is at the direction of agents busy executing tasks

Ideally, there would be a class, e.g. DynamicAgenda, essentially a kind of "tuplespace", which can be used in many different agenda instances in a system. Lenat's AM had just one; Eurisko had four of them. No telling how many we might want in the future.

Perhaps DynamicAgenda can be implemented in Clojure.
