**Best Used When:**
|
|
|
|
|
- You need continuous processing of tasks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Tasks need to be processed by every agent in sequence
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- You want predictable, ordered task distribution
|

|
|
**Key Features:**
|
|
|
|
|
- Tasks move in a circular pattern through all agents
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Each agent processes each task once
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
