Abstract

In this paper we propose a preliminary reference model for the requirements specification of agent-based simulation platforms. We give the following contributions: (i) aid the identification of general principles to develop platforms; (ii) advance the analysis and prospection of technical-operational and high-level requirements; (iii) promote the identification of shared requirements, addressing them to the development of an integrated work. We present our reference model and make a comparative analysis between three well-known platforms, resulting in an unambiguous and schematic characterisation of computational systems for agent-based simulation.
