Modelling and simulation have long been dominated by equation-based approaches, until
the recent advent of agent-based approaches. To curb the resulting complexity of models …

Methodological Guidelines for Modeling and Develo** MAS-Based Simulations The
intersection of agents, modeling, simulation, and application domains has been the subject …

Organized complexity is a characteristic feature of ecological systems with heterogeneous
components interacting at several spatio-temporal scales. The hierarchy theory is a powerful …

Agent based systems are increasingly being applied in a wide range of areas including
telecommunications, business process modeling, computer games, control of mobile robots …

This chapter discusses the intersection between two research fields:(1) Multi-Agent Systems
(MAS) and (2) computer simulation. On the one hand, MAS refer to a computer research …

The paper proposes a layered architectural framework to support agent based system
development in a collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering setting. This architecture is …

The development of models using multiple modelling paradigms is necessary to formulate
and study current problems in environmental science. To simplify the coupling of those …

In this article we describe HLA_AGENT, a tool for the distributed simulation of agent-based
systems, which integrates the SIM_AGENT agent toolkit and the High Level Architecture …

Large, experimental multi‐agent system (MAS) simulations are highly demanding tasks,
both computationally and developmentally. Agent toolkits provide reliable templates for the …

The advances of modeling and simulation as well as agent systems have been
phenomenal. The premise of the agent paradigm, its related theory and methodologies …
