Abstract

Multi-agent systems can be considered from a variety of perspectives. One such perspective arises from considering the architecture of an agent itself. Another is that of an instantiated agent architecture and its interaction with its peers in aMAS. A third perspective is that of an external observer. These three perspectives cover a potentially overlapping but essentially distinct set of issues concerning MAS simulation and modelling. In this paper, we consider each of these perspectives in turn and demonstrate how a simulation framework can support a collective treatment of such concepts. We discuss the implications for agent development and agent society design arising from the results and analysis of our simulation approach.
