Abstract
There are many studies on ABS and several frameworks for ABS have already been published. However, there are few frameworks that can enable agent-based simulation using large numbers of agents. We have been developing a Java-based platform for Massive Agent-Based Simulation (MABS) called Zillions of Agents-based Simulation Environment or ZASE. The purpose of ZASE is to develop MABS applications on multiple computers. ZASE is designed to host over millions of agents. We introduce ZASE in this paper. We evaluated ZASE for the agent-based auction simulation where the number of agents varied from ten to a million. The results indicate that the number of agents affects the final bid prices and their distributions. Performance measurement results on both an SMP computer environment and a multiple-computer environment are shown.
