MAS-BPM: Multi-Agent System Bomber Problem Model

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 7879))

Abstract

Simulation has become unavoidable to help control societies with globalization and complexity. This term includes concepts as diverse as strategic decision support or staff training. Military interventions are characterized by using weapons systems increasingly sophisticated in highly diverse contexts. The use of force must control the risk of error to respond to military objectives. Multi-agent simulation is for a long time privileged for modeling and experimentation of complex systems. In this paper, we explore the challenge of simulating a system as complex as the Bomber problem with a MAS approach. Particularly, we demonstrate that MAS approach, models and simulates the Bomber Problem with efficiency. We illustrate our discussion with developed simulation results.
