Abstract: With the properties of autonomy, social ability, reactivity and pro-activeness, agents can be used to represent entities in distributed simulations, where fast and accurate decision making is a determining factor of the whole environment. Resolving concurrent interactions is a key problem of this kind of system, as the shared environment needs to allow agents to interact with the environment in a causally consistent way. There will usually be either mutually exclusive or collaborative interactions. This paper presents our research in designing a middleware component called interaction resolver (IR) to resolve the effect of concurrent interactions and still guarantee the consistency and causality of the system. The ownership management services provided by the high level architecture (HLA) are compared with IRs in resolving mutually exclusive interactions in our prototype, a minesweeping game. Conclusions are drawn based on the experimental results.

Adaptive algorithms for the dynamic distribution and parallel execution of agent-based models
TL;DR: A first implementation of P-ABMS in the SWAGES environment is described and both results from simulations with simple SWARM agents that provide a lower bound for the performance gains achievable by the algorithm and results from simulation with more complex deliberative agents, which need to synchronize their state after each update cycle.

On agent-based software engineering
TL;DR: It will be argued that the development of robust and scalable software systems requires autonomous agents that can complete their objectives while situated in a dynamic and uncertain environment, that can engage in rich, high-level social interactions, and that can operate within flexible organisational structures.

Agent-based software engineering
Michael Wooldridge
- 01 Jan 1997
TL;DR: The paper considers the problem of building a multi-agent system as a software engineering enterprise and discusses three issues: how agents might be specified; how these specifications might be refined or otherwise transformed into efficient implementations: and how implemented agents and multi- agent systems might subsequently be verified, to show that they are correct with respect to their specifications.
