Abstract

In MultiAgent Based Simulation (MABS), the observation of simulation results is a complex task: interactions between simulation agents produce a large mass of simulation results, which is particularly complex to analyze. We are assured that the use of another second multiagent system is a suitable approach to achieve this task. This second system then introduces a new category of agents called observation agents. The first step to build this multiagent system for observation is to define a specification of concepts used between its observation agents. Our contribution is an ontology for observation of MABS. This ontology is composed of a set of concepts and relations usable to acquire and process simulation results, and to produce their presentation form. This ontology has three main root classes: ObservationElements, Processing, and Presentation.
