Designing Co-simulation with Multi-agent Tools: A Case Study with NetLogo

Abstract Multi-agent approach has demonstrated its benefits for complex system modeling and simulation. This article focuses on how to represent and simulate a system as a set of several interacting simulators, with a focus on the case of multi-agent simulators. This raises a major challenge: multi-agent simulators are not conceived (in general) to be used with other simulators. This article presents a preliminary study about the rigorous integration of multi-agent simulators into a co-simulation platform. The work is grounded on the NetLogo simulator and the co-simulation platform mecsyco.
