MULTI-AGENT SIMULATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

The multi-agent simulation system includes a plurality of agent simulators provided for each of the plurality of agents and a center controller. The plurality of agent simulators are programmed to simulate a state of each of the plurality of agents while causing the plurality of agents to interact with each other by exchanging messages. The center controller is programmed to manage participation of the plurality of agent simulators in a simulation of the target world and separation of the plurality of agent simulators from the simulation of the target world. The center controller separates an agent simulator whose processing does not keep up with a flow of time in the target world from the simulation of the target world.
