Abstract
The Multi Agent Simulation Technique (MAST) was applied to establish a plausible model for evaluation of the project management. Both features of the simultaneous distributed processing and the so-called bottom-up modeling, not by giving a series of whole governing equations, are crucially important points that MAST can provide to shed accurate light on an analysis of the project management. The artificial society consists of three types agents such as Staff who actually deals with Processes, Leader who manages a section having several Staffs and Project Manager who oversees a project holistically. There are existing Processes, which are distributed on the 2D artificial society considering the assumed characteristics for the project whether the project is related to relatively closed area or wide ranging, or the project has a deep dependent chain through several processes or not. The simulation was done from the viewpoint of the project organization and the Process characteristics. The obtained result well captured and reproduced features observed in the real project organization such as Functional, Matrix and Task Force type respectively.
