Communication in Multi-Agent Simulation

Abstract

In multi-agent simulations (MA-Sim), formalization of communication among agents is an important issue on building simulation systems. Agent communication has two significant features in MA-Sim: First, it is a complex process that consists of various physical phenomena. Second, it is an important functional operator that influences agents’ behaviors directly. In this paper, we discuss about modeling the communication as complex of the physical phenomena in the simulation system. Moreover, we investigate the interaction between communication and agent’s behavior based on multi-scenario-based agent programming.
