/**
* Name: FIPA Query
* Author:
* Description: This model demonstrates a usecase of the FIPA Query interaction protocol.
* (Please see http://www.fipa.org/specs/fipa00027/SC00027H.html for the detail description of this protocol).
*
*
* The Initiator agent begins the 'fipa-query' conversation/interaction protocol by sending a 'query'
* message to the Participant agent with 'your name?' as content.
*
* On receiving the 'query' message, the Participant agent replies with two consecutive messages :
*
* (1) an 'agree' message indicating that the Participant agent accepts to execute the query of the Initiator agent,
*
* (2) an 'inform' message informing the Initiation agent of Participant agent's name.
*
*
* After the Initiator agent read the 'inform' message from the Participant agent, the conversation ends.
