ATHOS - A Domain-Specific Language for Multi-agent Simulations

摘要

Creating multi-agent simulations is a challenging task often requiring programming skills at the professional developer level which domain experts scarcely possess. We present a model-driven approach that relieves agent experts from time-consuming, error-prone implementation tasks and allows them to focus on the application itself. With our domain specific language Athos, network-based traffic simulations can be created declaratively. The models are platform independent and executable code can be generated for two popular multi-agent platforms.
