Towards the implementation of agent-based computing systems

Abstract

Development of systems based on the already presented ideas of agent-based computing requires relevant tools supporting their design and execution, adequate to the required problem scale. The preliminary analysis of the features of the available agent-based platform and simulation frameworks has been conducted. It showed clearly that available frameworks are inefficient and inflexible in the context of the considered computing applications. In other words, none of them can be used both for construction and efficient realization of the distributed computing focused on processing a large number of agents, using robust communication mechanism that are required for such class.
