Abstract
Several simulation tools have been proposed in the literature and many surveys have been realized on this. The objective of this paper is not to give a survey but to compare four principal tools which are Repast, SeSAm, NetLogo and Gama according to some evaluation criteria that I consider important when designing Adaptive Multi-Agent Systems.
Highlights
There is some ambiguity concerning the terms "platform" and "toolkit" but generally they have been used interchangeably
Several surveys have been done on agent simulation tools
The purpose of my work is not to present a state of the art about agent based simulation tools but to compare four principal tools according to some criteria defined later in this paper
Summary
There is some ambiguity concerning the terms "platform" and "toolkit (tool)" but generally they have been used interchangeably. Several surveys have been done on agent simulation tools. The purpose of my work is not to present a state of the art about agent based simulation tools but to compare four principal tools according to some criteria defined later in this paper. The objective is to select the more appropriate tool to Adaptive Muli-Agent Systems (AMAS) [1] [2]. The proposed criteria are not determinist for any intended use of the simulation tool. These criteria was defined according to some characteritics that I find necessary to build simulations for Adaptive Multi-Agent Systems [3]. I describe each tool according to these criteria and I give a synthesis about the comparison of these tools
