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 control a speed ratio of a flow of time in the target world to a flow of time in a real world. Each of the plurality of agent simulators calculates an index value corresponding to a remainder time rate. The remainder time rate is a rate of a remainder time to an update time interval for updating a state of a target agent to be simulated. The center controller controls the speed ratio based on the index value calculated by each of the plurality of agent simulators.
