Abstract
A multiagent simulator (MAS) attracts attention as an approach to analyze social phenomena and complex systems in recent years. In addition, many frameworks for developing MAS are also proposed. These frameworks make the amount of development work reduce. But it is necessary to build models that are required to develop simulators from scratch. It becomes a burden to developers. These models would be specialized in the frameworks and lack in reusability. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a graphical model editor that can diagrammatically build models and a simulator development method using the editor. Saving models in a general-purpose form, these models are applicable to various frameworks. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method is effective in MAS development.
