Component Based Multi-Agent System Modeling and Analysis: A Case Study

- We previously proposed a Colored Petri Net (CPN) based modeling methodology to model multiagent systems. The methodology creates a component to describe the local behavior for each agent, and then concatenate all components to form a system model. In this paper, we focus on a case study to evaluate our modeling approach. The experiments in the case study are based on modeling and simulation of a multi-agent system for the Chicago downtown subway system.
