Run this activity over some environment and given a schedule.
Runs a set of activities in parallel using Scala's parallel collections.
Building simulations with truly-concurrent agents is *really* hard. As a design assumption, ThirdWay considers thread-based, parallel simulations to be a bad idea. However, there are situations that demand true concurrency. For example, the cognitive component of thick agents may be embarrassingly parallel. Rather than using
synchronized-based locking, schedule the heavy operation separately. For example, create an activity that calls some agent'sthink()method. This method should do no environmental or schedule mutation. Then, schedule it repeatedly, with an ordering that comes after mutating and interacting activities.
