 ABSTRACT
A-globe [2, 1] is a freeware, simulation-oriented multi-agent platform featuring agent migration, communication inaccessibility simulation and high scalability with moderate hardware requirements. Using dedicated simulation messaging together with 2D and 3D visualization support, large agent systems can be engineered, tested and visualized on a single machine. A-globe agents are fully-fledged JAVA agents, each with its own independent thread, that can autonomously migrate between platforms running on different hosts. Thanks to the separation of simulation and agent code, deployment of agents to embedded devices is straightforward. The platform is not natively FIPA-compliant, as the inter-operability was sacrificed to offer superior scalability and efficiency. REFERENCES
