1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "Interfacing multi-agent models to distributed simulation platforms: the case of pdes-mas" ?

One problem remains central whichever approach is used: how to translate MAS behaviour into a format suitable for the distribution approach used.. In this paper the authors describe the Agent Distributed Shared Memory Interface ( ADSMI ), an interface between a general MAS description and the PDES-MAS platform as an implementation of a Distributed Shared Memory ( DSM ) system for distributed MAS simulations.. The ADSMI provides a translation of MAS behaviour into event-interactions with PDES-MAS, as well as functionality for handling time progressing in the MAS, and a messaging mechanism between agents.

2. What future works have the authors mentioned in the paper "Interfacing multi-agent models to distributed simulation platforms: the case of pdes-mas" ?

Future work includes providing a functionality and performance description of this use-case.

TL;DR: An agent-based model for basic survival and settlement behaviour for Mesolithic communities based within a marine palaeolandscape is explored and the key technical challenges must be met if large complex scenarios emerge in which the modelling of interaction between vegetation, animals and human groups becomes a priority.

TL;DR: Agent theory is concerned with the question of what an agent is, and the use of mathematical formalisms for representing and reasoning about the properties of agents as discussed by the authors ; agent architectures can be thought of as software engineering models of agents; and agent languages are software systems for programming and experimenting with agents.
