Modeling and Simulation of Mobile Agents Systems Using a Multi-level Net Formalism

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 4293))

Abstract

The paper proposes a modeling methodology allowing the specification of multi mobile agent systems using nLNS, a multi level Petri net based formalism. The prey-predator problem is addressed and a modular and hierarchical model for this case study is developed. An overview of a nLNS simulator is presented through the prey predator problem.
