Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to illustrate how agents can be used to facilitate development of next-generation simulators and assist in conducting simulation experiments. First, we introduce and define software agents and then characterize the three dimensions of the ADS framework that help explore both the use of agents for simulation and the use of simulation for agents. This is followed by the introduction of multisimulation and delineation of how agent-monitored and agent-assisted mechanisms facilitate its design and implementation. To underline the diversity of roles that agents can play in the overall M&S life cycle, we highlight the issues and challenges in goal-directed experimentation with simulation models and present an agent-assisted and model-driven experiment management strategy to effectively address these challenges.
