....of largest applications. Keywords: multi agent simulation, traffic simulation, conflicts resolution 1. Introduction Multi agent simulation models are a tool which becomes more and more important for the analysis and the understanding of complex phenomena [23] mainly in human organizations (see [26]) In this article we address the particular case of a realistic road traffic simulation. This simulation is integrated in the INRETS ARCHISIM project which was created jointly by the Analysis and Regulation Department (DART) and by the driving psychology laboratory (LPC) in 1992 [16] It has been ....

.... artificial societies . Thus agent based simulation is often intended as agent based social simulation , with the precise meaning of the study of artificial societies of autonomous agents. A lot of work has been done in this direction, leading to various international workshops (the last one is [37]) dedicated to agent based social simulation. In a broader sense, an agent based simulation is a simulation of a complex system which can be modeled in terms of agents, not necessarily characterized by mentalistic features. Unfortunately many agent based simulations are carried out in a ....

....important in Multiagent Systems (MAS) A first goal of these systems is to release the researchers from low level technical operational issues, allowing the researcher to concentrate his her efforts on the relevant domain application logic. In the area of Multiagent Based Simulation (MABS) see [22]) computational platforms are important methodological tools that aid the researcher in the processes of modelling and development of simulation programs. They are especially valuable to conciliate different interdisciplinary perspectives, which in MABS typically involve researchers from various ....

....explicitly defined multiple societies (e.g. 3] 7] the concept of society in such models is still reducible to one of a group, where agents are viewed simultaneously as actors and non neutral observers in a given society. Also in works with reactive agents [4] or simulation with cognitive agents [5], where the stress is given to emergent organisational structures, the role of opaque observation is not explicitly assigned to agents, but exclusively and implicitly defined in the person of the human designer. Nevertheless, in the real world, we have the ability to create explicit ....

....human designer with respect to its own topology, as well as to its different points for opaque observation of social spaces. 4 MOSCA: An Opaque Organisation The example that we illustrate in this section is motivated by the field of MAS simulations, especially simulation of cognitive agents (see [5,9]) In such simulations it is often the case that the simulated setting and the agents behavioural rules or cognitive representations have to be observed or enforcedly modified during the simulation. The goal is to design a simulator based on MAS organisations, in the context of the SimCog project ....

.... distribution of goals and knowledge in the system (most problem solving systems using a MAS approach, e.g. 13] or deliberately defined by the system designer to investigate cognitive aspects of the individual agent and or emergent properties of the system as a whole (most systems in MABS [14]) In either way, rational autonomous agents need social reasoning abilities to choose goals and partners with adequate capabilities, and to generate proposals to convince the others to collaborate favorably to their collective or individual goals. The problem of rational choice among a set of ....

....dependence at the macro social level, the last one being usually analyzed in statistical terms. 1 An extensive review concerning possible vectors for cross fertilization among Multi Agent Systems and Agent Based Social Simulation may be found in the introductory chapter of the last MABS workshop [14]. Perhaps with the exception of Conte and Pedone [7] where the authors try to assess some cognitive ingredients of individual rationality on micro social and macrosocial levels of analysis, one may notice that the literature of MABS [14] has prevalently simulated social phenomena from a ....
