Distributed Multiagent Simulation on P2P Architecture

Abstract

In this paper we introduce distributed multiagent simulation and recall some solutions based on HLA protocol. We make a short presentation of peer-to- peer systems. We highlight the architecture of a distributed multiagent system based on a peer-to-peer model. We present some preliminary experimental results to show the performance of this architecture running a distributed version of ants model. We compare this implementation with a non-distributed ants version and with a distributed version on Client/Server architecture.
