/**
   This example shows how to implement the initiator role in 
   a FIPA-request interaction protocol. In this case in particular 
   we use an <code>AchieveREInitiator</code> ("Achieve Rational effect") 
   to request a dummy action to a number of agents (whose local
   names must be specified as arguments).
