In recent years several studies have reported the multiagent based simulatior(MAS) concerning to complex traffic flow and have proved its effectiveness. However, when MAS applies to a large scale simulation, the calculation size has became larger than processing ability of one computer. Therefore, the necessity becomes apparent the parallel and distributed processing on multi-processors. This study proposes a new parallel and distributed computing environment suitable for multiagent based large scale simulations by network-agent. The network-agent migrates or is propagated on the global computer network for dynamic construction of parallel and distributed computing environment and dynamic load balancing, depending on the situation. This system is independent of the platform and works on the various computers connected to the Internet such as ordinary PC and workstations not only exclusive parallel computer just like the PC-cluster.
