Title
A framework to model multiple environments in multiagent systems
Abstract
Nowadays, multiagent systems are very often used to run environmental simulations. Thanks to the fact than multiagents focus more on interactions rather than on the system in its globality, scientists and researchers are now able to represent complex systems and they can simulate them. Consequently, a large number of multiagents platforms allows to perform such kind of simulations. But there is no work on the fact that an agent can evolve simultaneously in multiple environments. This is why, in this paper, we present a very innovative architecture that allow to model multiple environment for a single agent in a multiagent system. But as this multiplicity of environments raises new problems with regard to classic architecture, we explain how, by adding new entities, we obtain a coherent and viable model. These new entities are notably the virtual environmental instance and the virtual environment. This new model is explained and detailed due to concrete examples and more particularly with an example on the movement of shoals of fish in Indian Ocean.
