Abstract

Multi-agent simulations gain more and more importance for the simulation of complex systems. In order to meet the continuously increasing requirements regarding complexity, level of detail, and size of the model on the one hand and an efficient modeling and execution on the other hand, a reasonable theoretical foundation is essential. Based on the awareness that at the current time these foundations of multi-agent simulation are weak in comparison to other simulation paradigms, the necessity for a general approach for defining and describing a multi-agent simulation is examined. Following this investigation, an exemplary reference model for agent-based modeling and simulation is introduced. This reference model is intended to provide a common understanding of agent-based models along with well-defined semantics of their simulation. In addition, it permits the implementation of various simulators adhering to the specified semantics using the same model and producing identical simulation runs.
