Abstract :
In multi-agent simulations (MA-Sim), formalization of communication among agents is an important issue on building simulation systems. Agent communication has two significant features in MA-Sim: 1) it is a complex process that consists of various physical phenomena; and 2) it is an important functional operator that influences agents´ behaviors directly. In this paper, we discuss the modeling of the communication as complex physical phenomena in the simulation system. Moreover, we investigate the interaction between communications and agent´s behavior based on multi-scenario-based agent programming.
