MUSE: A parallel Agent-based Simulation Environment

Abstract Details

2009, Master of Science, Miami University, Computer Science and Systems Analysis.
Realizing the advantages of simulation-based methodologies requires the use of a software environment that is conducive for modeling, simulation, and analysis. Furthermore, parallel simulation methods must be employed to reduce the time for simulation, particularly for large problems, to enable analysis in reasonable timeframes. Accordingly, this thesis covers the development of a general purpose agent-based, parallel simulation environment called MUSE (Miami University Simulation Environment). MUSE, provides an Application Program Interface (API) for agent-based modeling and a framework for parallel simulation. The API was developed in C++ using its object oriented features. The core parallel simulation capabilities of MUSE were realized using the Time Warp synchronization methodology and the Message Passing Interface (MPI). Experiments show MUSE to be a scalable and efficient simulation environment.
