MACC'97 Session: Game
Gaming simulation has been used as a methodology to understanding complex social phenomena. Here we present a multi-agent system to support gaming simulations. The system features: 1) coexistence of player-monitored agents and autonomous agents. 2) a mechanism that implements the link between the micro-level model (agents) to the macro-level model (the environment in which the agents are embedded). The agents interact to each other directly through some communication primitives, and are able to change the environment by signalling some events. Agents are situated in the environment; i.e., the behavior and the resources an agent have change according to the change in the environment.
