Farm: A Scalable Environment for Multi-agent Development and Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce Farm, a distributed simulation environment for simulating large-scale multi-agent systems. Farm uses a component-based architecture, allowing the simulation to be easily modified and augmented, as well as distributed to spread the computational load and improve running time. Technical details of Farm’s architecture are described, along with discussion of the rationale behind this design. Performance graphs are provided, along with a brief discussion of the environments currently being modeled with Farm.
