I have a complex dependency graph between the used agents, so it is difficult to compute the p-agent I want. (They are actually launched by watchers on the agents itself.)
After thought, agents may not be what I need. I may try to use Fork/Join instead... (What I do is a bit more structured on the computation graph, as opposed to asynchronous state. Maybe, I was a bit cheating by trying to use agents...) Has anyone contributed a wrapper for Fork/Join? Nicolas.
