Abstract

This paper introduces a multi-environment simulation framework for building self-organizing multi-agent systems. From an engineering point of view, the multi-environments approach brings the necessary modularity and separation of concerns to build self-organizing multi-agent systems that address hierarchy, interoperability and multi-aspects problems and domains. Our framework provides higher abstractions and components to support the development of self-organizing systems with multiple environments, which can be situated or not. Furthermore, the framework provides a coordination component and self-organizing mechanisms to be instantiated and flexibility to evolve the framework with more complex ones.
