Abstract. In this paper we discuss a framework for simulation software called the movie metaphor. It is applied to the Dutch Driving Simulator for dynamic control of traffic scenarios. This framework resolves software complexity by the use of agent protocols inspired by the way of working on a movie set. It de-fines clear responsibilities for the agents so that the system is extensible, main-tainable and easy to understand. The framework is a software pattern for multi-agent systems especially suitable for simulation software and games. 1
