Hacia una Metodología para la Construcción de Modelos de Simulación Basados en Sistemas Multi-Agente

The aim of this paper is to show the different phases, models and artifacts of a methodology that was created by the research group in order to develop multi-agent based simulation models. The proposed methodology is based on some of the most outstanding features of the classic software engineering, the agent-oriented software engineering and the systems simulation. Once those features have been integrated we obtain a robust and well formalized methodology which could be applied in simulating social, economic, political, or even environmental models.
