*ahum* I was most definitely using  definition #2. Yet, i *can* code, and
given the importance of this aspect, i am certainly willing to assist in
making this use case happen. However, i am not a professional programer, but
just a scientist, coding my own analysis softeware. So i am likely to need a
bit of help from some friends :)

On the other hand, i am convinced that a proper implementation of the SL use
case (this time in the sense of definition  #1) will generate about  all the
code we need for the tourist case. The difference between the SL model and
the tourist model is largely at the policy level.  But when we get down to
the specs, that will become clear soon enough.

Regarding the coding, i think Agent Domain code was written this summer. Is
that available somewhere? i would like to have a look at that, to get a
better feel for the size of the problem.
