Removing specific actions from dynamic schedules during simulation

[Alex Lancaster]

Folks,

I have a dynamic schedule in which agents (neurones) in my simulation
can schedule a future action, like "firing" of itself, which may need 
to be removed at a later time (let's say the firing becomes unnecessary 
or redundant based on subsequent events). How would I _remove_ the action 
from the agent's schedule, based on further events that occur to the agent 
*after* the desired event has been scheduled, but *before* it has been 
executed?

I was thinking of somehow getting an index to the current schedule,
stepping through that to find the appropriate time of the event (which
the agent maintains internally) and removing it. Trouble is, this
there may be a number of valid events scheduled at that time, not all
of which should be removed. What's the most appropriate/Swarm-compliant/
Swarm-style of doing this?


Regards,


Alex
