Abstract
Simulators based on agent oriented system have been developed in the field of engineering. However, multiagent system (numerous agents exist in an analytical region) needs a lot of computer resources to simulate in real time. This paper proposes one of parallel and distributed platforms for multiagent oriented system by Java language. Our platform consists of distributed multiagent platform implementation and it provides API (Application Programming Interface), so users easily develop multiagent system using this API. Moreover, users do not need to consider how to use parallel and distributed computing environment because our platform controls these processors by automatic load balancing agent. The effectiveness of proposed platform is confirmed in two cases of application, namely a calculation of pi compared with MPI system and the automatic mesh generation by voxel element. Our platform is no less rapid than MPI and is suitable for parallel and distributed multiagent system.
