public class DynAttributeNames
extends java.lang.Object

The AIMA framework uses dynamic attributes to make implementations of agents and environments completely independent of each other. The disadvantage of this concept is, that it's error-prone. This set of constants is designed to make information exchange more reliable for map agents. Two kinds of attributes are distinguished. Percept attributes are attached to percepts. They are generated by the environment and read by by the agent. Agent attributes are attached to agents. They are also in general generated by the environment but the agents are not allowed to read them.
