Abstract

The Agent-Oriented Paradigm has been used to successfully develop simulations as executions models. These models are derived from the models generated in the design of simulation. A useful model used to design simulations are the conceptual model, that is a theoretical construct for represent the simulated system in a static way. Thus, changes in the conceptual model demand changes in the Multi-Agent simulation code. This paper presents an approach to tame this problem by representing the conceptual model in an ontology and by proposing a Multi-Agent architecture that is able to interpret the model and execute the simulation. This allows for more independence between the simulation concepts and the simulation engine.
