We present an agent-based system for modeling, analyzing and reasoning in the maritime domain with the emphasis on detecting, anticipating and preventing illegitimate activities, such as contemporary maritime piracy. At the core of the system is a data-driven agent-based simulation which combines a rich array of sources of real-world piracy-related data with simulated operation of thousands of vessels of different types in order to create a rich model of maritime activity. The simulation is integrated with a range of advanced adversarial reasoning methods for analyzing illegitimate activities and for planning active counter-measures. In combination with experiment support tools and a powerful presentation frontend based on Google Earth, the system provides a complete testbed for the development and evaluation of counterpiracy methods based on the multi-agent approach. 1.

Abstract. In this paper, a multi-agent based simulation platform is introduced that focuses both on legitimate and illegitimate aspects of maritime traffic, mainly on intercontinental transport through piracy afflicted areas. Presented extensible architecture comprises of several modules controlling the simulation and the life-cycle of the agents, analyzing the simulation output and visualizing the entire simulated domain. The simulation control module is initialized by various configuration scenarios to simulate different realworld situations, such as a pirate ambush, coordinated transit through a transport corridor or coastal fishing and local traffic. The environmental model provides a rich set of inputs for agents that use both the geo-spatial data as well as vessel operational characteristics for their reasoning. The agents behavior model based on finite state machines together with planning algorithms allows complex expression of agent behavior, so the resulting simulation output can serve as a substitution of the real world data from the maritime domain.

We present an agent-based system for modeling, analyzing and reasoning in the maritime domain with the emphasis on detecting, anticipating and preventing illegal activities, such as contemporary maritime piracy. At the core of the system is a data-driven agent-based simulation which combines a range of sources of crime-related real-world data with simulated operation of thousands of vessels of different types in order to create a rich model of maritime activity. The simulation is integrated with a number of advanced reasoning methods for analyzing illegal activities and for planning active counter-measures. In combination with experiment support tools and a powerful user frontend based on Google Earth, the testbed provides a complete environment for the development and evaluation of anti-maritime-crime methods based on the multi-agent approach.
