Comparative Analysis between Multi-Agent Simulation Tools
Abstract
The use of tools to assist in the process of modeling and developing simulations is very important, since it streamlines the whole process as well as tends to minimize errors. In this way, their study and analysis are for choosing the tool that best suits a simulation. This paper presents a comparative study between three multiagent simulation tools, JADE, MESA and CORMAS, applied to the same problem. The objective is to present a description of each tool, develop the same application in each tool and run simulations. The entire development process until execution is used for comparative purposes in different parameters.
