A LBM-based Mediator Framework for Hybrid Simulation

This paper presents a Mediate-based ABS framework for a multi-agent hybrid simulation in which agents are modeled based on a "sense-think-lookahead-act" paradigm. This design draws out some general functions as mediators from the lookahead process, and coordinates the interactions between agents and discrete event simulation engine. The mediators are organized as Sense mediator, Move mediator and Engagement mediator in accordance with the major types of actions in military simulation. With the MABSF, an lookahead behavior model can be built much more easily.
