Title: The Farm Distributed Simulation Environment
Abstract: In this paper we introduce Farm, a distributed simulation environment for simulating large-scale multi-agent systems. Farm uses a component-based architecture, allowing the researcher to easily modify and augment the simulation, as well as distribute the various pieces to spread the computational load and improve running time. Technical details of Farms architecture are described, along with discussion of the rationale behind this design. Performance graphs are provided, along with a brief discussion of the environments currently being modeled with Farm.
