Quick Prototyping and Simulation with the INGENIAS Agent Framework.
Jorge J. Gómez-Sanz, Carlos Rodríguez Fernández, Juán Pavón · 2009
Abstract—A major nightmare of software developers is having clients claiming the delivered software is not what they expected. Developers make an extensive use of prototypes to prevent such situations to occur. However, the role of simulations have not been studied enough. If an agent based simulation is intended, not all existing agent oriented methodologies are capable of it. It requires code generation capabilities, round-trip features, and components with predefined behaviors. This work introduces the ability of the INGENIAS Agent Framework to simulate MAS specifications and how this can be useful for for agile development of agent-based applications. I.
