TURTLES AS STATE MACHINES - Agent Programming in NetLogo using State Machines
Ilias Sakellariou · 2012
Abstract: Agent based modelling has received significant attention in the recent years mainly due its wide adoption by scientists in a number of fields. Although agent simulation platforms have proven to be quite mature and expressive for modelling simple agents, little has been done regarding enhancing these platforms by higher level agent oriented programming facilities. This work aims at this direction, i.e. an add-on library to a well known simulation platform aiming at the specification of complex high level agents, using state machines. 1
