   Let's imagine the situation, where Shop Agent provide a certain number   
   (pool) of Seller agents to serve Buyer agents. This could be solved   
   using dynamic pooling: when number of alive agents is not enough to   
   serve yet another Buyer, another one is created on call.   
      
   Thus number of alive Seller agents (N) could depend on:   
   - time of the they (rush hours?)   
   - other factors ?   
      
   Creating new Seller agent is time-compusing, host a great number (N) of   
   alive agents is resource-consuming.   
      
   Problem is how to balance N ?   
   I describe this problem in a very general way, because I'd rather want   
   some keywords, general papers regarding to this problem. Do you know   
   any?
