“…To evaluate the load management algorithm described in the previous section, we have run a number of experiments using traces generated from SIM BOIDS, an implementation of Boids [14]using the SIM AGENT [17] toolkit. Boids is a simulation of a coordinated animal motion such as bird flocks or fish schools.…”

Abstract. The most common approach to creating interactive narrative involves interactive experiences which take place within the constraints of a previously constructed story. In this paper we explore an alternative approach in which participants in a virtual world, e.g., a game, simulation or large online community improvise events. These events form the raw material for the subsequent creation of narrative sequences. Building on the theoretical concept of narrative voices -fictional personas that deliver information in narrative form -we suggest some new approaches to creating narratives from live events. We then present one such approach, embodied reporting agents, in which automated non-player characters inhabiting a virtual world report on ongoing events to editor agents. The editor agents, in turn, compile their information and pass it to presenter agents who ultimately narrate it to external viewers. We sketch how such 'witness-narrators' can be used to investigate creation of tension and drama in the interactive story world.

“…sim agent is an architecture-neutral toolkit originally developed to support the exploration of alternative agent architectures [4,8] 1 . In sim agent, an agent consists of a collection of modules, e.g., perception, problem-solving, planning, communication etc.…”

“…Simulation has traditionally played an important role in agent research and a wide range of simulators and testbeds have been developed to support the design and analysis of agent architectures and systems [1,2,3,4,5,6]. However no one simulator or testbed is, or can be, appropriate to all agents and environments, and demonstrating that a particular result holds across a range of agent architectures and environments often requires using a number of different systems.…”

Abstract. In this paper we describe hla agent, a tool for the distributed simulation of agent-based systems, which integrates the sim agent agent toolkit and the High Level Architecture (HLA) simulator interoperability framework. Using a simple Tileworld scenario as an example, we show how the HLA can be used to flexibly distribute a sim agent simulation with different agents being simulated on different machines. The distribution is transparent in the sense that the existing sim agent code runs unmodified and the agents are unaware that other parts of the simulation are running remotely. We present some preliminary experimental results which illustrate the performance of hla agent on a Linux cluster running a distributed version of Tileworld and compare this with the original (non-distributed) sim agent version.
