A Framework for Distributing Agent-Based Simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agent-based simulation models are an increasingly popular tool for research and management in many, different and diverse fields. In executing such simulations the “speed” is one of the most general and important issues. The traditional answer to this issue is to invest resources in deploying a dedicated installation of dedicated computers. In this paper we present a framework that is a parallel version of the MASON, a library for writing and running Agent-based

A middleware for interfacing with simulation systems of multi-agent models
As multi-agent systems (MAS) are used increasingly often to solve larger and more complex problems, distributed simulation is emerging as the only viable approach to cope with the resultant increased scale and complexity of MAS. While different methods have been proposed for distributing these simulations, the problem of interfacing a MAS with these distributed methods remains just as important...
متن کاملDistributing RePast Simulations Using Actors
RePast is a well-known agent-based toolkit for modelling and simulation of complex systems. The toolkit is normally used on a single workstation, where modelling, execution and visualization aspects are dealt with. This paper describes an approach aimed to distributing RePast models, with minimal changes, over a networked context so as to address very large and reconfigurable models whose compu...
متن کاملMise en place et évaluation d'un algorithme de répartition de charge pour les plateformes de simulations distribuées basées sur les systèmes multiagents
This paper discusses load balancing in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) through a generic algorithm based on agent’s distribution. The need is born from the observation of frequent load-balancing problems over simulations based on multiagent systems. Miro which is a software system developed for scalable urban mobility simulation is a concrete example of this type of problems. The difficulty of this w...
متن کاملA Specification for Agent-Based Distributed User Modelling in Ubiquitous Computing
This paper introduces an approach for applying agent technology for user modelling in ubiquitous computing. It illustrates the research issues in distributing the knowledge about the user across active entities and distributed user-model acquisition and application methods, and specifies the agents using a defined communication framework for distributed user-modelling for ubiquitous computing. ...
متن کاملOrganizational Learning and Knowledge Spillover in Innovation Networks: Agent-Based Approach (Extending SKIN Framework)
In knowledge-based economy, knowledge has a public good and non-rivalry nature. Firms build their own knowledge stock not only by means of internal R&D and collaboration with partners, but also by means of previously spilled over knowledge of other firms and public research laboratories (such as universities). Firms based on their absorptive capacity, and level of intra-industry and extra-indus...
