LightJason, a Highly Scalable and Concurrent Agent Framework: Overview and Application
Malte Aschermann, Sophie Dennisen, Philipp Kraus, Jörg P. Müller · 2018
Multiagent systems (MAS) provide useful abstractions for modelling and simulating complex socio-technical systems. However, existing open-source platforms suffer from serious issues including limited scalability, inflexible software architecture, and poor support for web deployment. This demo presents an overview and an application of LightJason, a highly scalable Java-based platform for agent-oriented programming (AOP) and simulation. We outline the architectural features of LightJason and showcase its applicability using an example of a browser-based web application implementing a traffic serious game devised to teach an interdisciplinary student team in MAS and AOP.
