Abstract

Main aim of this paper is to present our approach for simplify distributed
simulation environment design and implementation. We used multiagent system as
a basic distribution engine. Agent holds model part, controls simulation process,
controls load optimization in distributed system or handles storing data. As
a basic modelling tool is used DEVS formalism. Formalism has advantageous
properties for use in the distributed simulation environment. For example model
described by DEVS formalism has hierarchical structure and it can be simple
divided between computation nodes. From the user's view is this formalism
relatively simple and transparent. Multiagent system technology together with
DEVS formalism allows creating user friendly distributed simulation environment
with minimum demands on system's developer.
