Abstract

This paper briefly surveys an emerging research area: the integration of agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) and agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS). Both AOSE and ABMS are well-established research areas in the agent-based computing domain. Specifically, this paper provides an overview of the main simulation-based methodologies for developing multi-agent systems (MASs) that describe interesting ABMS application domains where the integration of AOSE and ABMS can benefit MAS development.
