A novel scheme for simulating networked agent systems is presented. In this approach, the system is composed of identical communicating agents, which have multi-role capabilities in such a manner that they can perform diverse tasks, according to a given execution context. The agent’s behavior is modeled using a timed hybrid Petri net ( THPN) whose evolution, valid for all the agents, is computed off-line using Matlab. The agents are interconnected and simulated in a Java platform using the JADE middle-ware.
