Abstract

Agent-based modelling is a widely used paradigm for simulating Complex Systems representing real-world phenomena. High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources are essential to model such systems on a large scale. However, many existing Agent-based Modelling Simulation (ABMS) tools do not optimize simultaneous multi-user access to HPC resources because they are often built as monolithic software. An ABMS web service that is deployable on HPC resources is proposed to address this issue using MASON as its simulation core. The outcomes of this research include workflows that include Gradle and Annotation processing which assist the modelling experience of users, integration of message broker for scalability and robustness, and a web interface for managing user accounts, running simulations, and obtaining visualizations.

WSim4ABM：基于代理的建模仿真Web服务，带有消息代理中间件和注释处理库

基于智能体的建模是一种广泛使用的模拟复杂系统的范式，它代表了现实世界的现象。高性能计算（HPC）资源对于大规模地对此类系统进行建模至关重要。然而，许多现有的基于代理的建模仿真（ABMS）工具不能优化同时对高性能计算资源的多用户访问，因为它们通常是作为整体软件构建的。提出了一种部署在高性能计算资源上的ABMS web服务，以MASON为其仿真核心来解决这个问题。这项研究的成果包括工作流，其中包括Gradle和Annotation处理，这有助于用户的建模体验，集成消息代理以实现可扩展性和鲁棒性，以及用于管理用户帐户，运行模拟和获得可视化的web界面。

期刊介绍： SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
