Abstract
People use multi-agent systems for three kinds of activities – (i) integration (ii) simulation (iii) complex problem solving. In this contribution we describe architecture of a newly developed multi-agent platform that supports real world simulation, with particular emphasis to all kinds of mobility and communication inaccessibility. \(\mathcal{A}\)-globe performance benchmarks compared against other agent platforms are also stated in this paper.
