Object-Oriented Simulator of Multi-Agent System for Temporally Rich Domains
Slobodan Ribari�, Tomislav Hrka� · Journal of Computing and Information Technology · 2003
An object-oriented implementation of a program simulator for a multi-agent system (MAS) is described. The model of a MAS is hierarchical model, consisting of different levels, where each level contains clusters of agents. A paradigm of a blackboard is used for communication among agents, clusters, as well as levels. The Petri Nets with Time Tokens are used as a basic concept for this model. An example of the use of the object-oriented simulator in a dynamic scene analysis is given.
