public class VMBroadcastActivity
extends BroadcastActivity

The VMBroadcastActivity is a broadcast activity with extensions for use in the virtual machine. A broadcast activity is a primitive activity but allows for the initiator to broadcast information into a location. Every agent in the same location as the initiator will receive the broadcasted belief. The user can specify when the actual transfer has to take place by setting the trigger value to either start or end. The user can in this case not specify with whom or what should be communicated.
