 First all Runtime Spawners are triggered.
 Whenever a new agent is spawned, all its components are parsed to <em>Trigger</em> and <em>Update</em> tasks, grouped and sorted by execution time as non-recurring and recurring tasks.
 Next all PreAgents task are executed, which includes publishing the world state to the DataStore in triggering all EventDetectors and Manipulators
 Non-recurring tasks are executed just once and will be deleted afterwards (<em>init</em> flag in ComponentRepository).
 Right after execution of all agent-based tasks, the Syncronize phase synchronizes all changes to the world as world state for the next timestep.</p></li>
 <li><p>The last phase is finalizing task, executed when an end condition is reached, such as end of simulation duration. Within this phase all EventDetectors and Manipulators are triggered and the Observation modules are updated one last time.</p></li>

 <h3>Task priorities<a class="headerlink" href="#task-priorities" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
 <p>The order of the tasks within one phase depends on component priority and task type.
 All tasks for a given timestamp are ordered by the SchedulerTasks priority, and divided into the aformentioned phases.</p>
 <p>The following table shows the priorities for the non-component task types:</p>
 <table class="tight-table docutils align-default">
 <colgroup>

 <col style="width: 7%" />
 <col style="width: 81%" />

 <tbody>
 <tr class="row-even"><td><p>Spawning</p></td>
 <td><p>4</p></td>
 <td><p>Highest priority, nothing can happen before any agent is instantiated.</p></td>
 </tr>
 <tr class="row-odd"><td><p>EventDetector</p></td>
 <td><p>3</p></td>
 <td></td>
 </tr>
 <tr class="row-even"><td><p>Manipulator</p></td>
 <td><p>2</p></td>
 <td><p>The manipulator task uses the event detector tasks as input. Therefore it is called afterwards.</p></td>

 <td><p>1</p></td>

 <tr class="row-even"><td><p>Observation</p></td>
 <td><p>0</p></td>
 <td><p>Observation tasks have to be execute at the end.</p></td>
 </tr>
 </tbody>
 </table>
 <p>The priority of trigger and update tasks depend on the priority within the SystemConfig.
 They are independent of non-component priorities.
 Since trigger tasks prepare output signals, output tasks are right called after the corresponding trigger tasks.</p>

	<p>The order of the tasks within one phase depends on component priority and task type.
	All tasks for a given timestamp are ordered by the SchedulerTasks priority, and divided into the aformentioned phases.</p>
	<p>The following table shows the priorities for the non-component task types:</p>
	<table class="tight-table docutils align-default">

	<col style="width: 7%" />

	<td></td>

	<tr class="row-even"><td><p>Observation</p></td>
	<td><p>0</p></td>
	<td><p>Observation tasks have to be execute at the end.</p></td>
	</tr>
	</tbody>
	</table>
	<p>The priority of trigger and update tasks depend on the priority within the SystemConfig.
	They are independent of non-component priorities.
	Since trigger tasks prepare output signals, output tasks are right called after the corresponding trigger tasks.</p>
