分布式多主体仿真的开发环境研究

A Study of Platform for Distributed Agent-based Simulation

基于主体的计算机仿真技术,又称为“ABS”(AgentBasedSimulation),由于在建模方法上强调刻画各种系统主体的微观结构和行为机制,引入学习机制使主体适应环境变化,并以消息建立主体间的联系,使形成的模型在宏观层面上具备了分化、突现等复杂系统特征,在各种复杂系统的研究中得到了广泛应用,日益成为社会科学、经济学、生物学等学科中的重要研究手段。该文讨论基于主体仿真系统的分布式技术,并介绍一个开发平台DABS,该环境可用于开发分布式的经济仿真系统。

Agent -based Simulation is now widely used in the study of complex system,such as Social Science,Eco-nomics and Biology etc.Comparing to other modeling techniques,a model of ABS can be designed more properly match-ing the counterpart of the real world in micro structures and the decision-making architecture of agents.In this paper,a distributed platform for ABS,named DABS,will be introduced.The algorithm and some features of the software will also be discussed in detail.The DBAS is primarily designed to meet the needs of developing an economic model.
