Abstract: A multi agent net has been proposed as a formal description model for autonomous distributed systems. In the model, a system is expressed by a set of agent nets, and each agent is an extended colored Petri net. This time we have developed the distributed runtime environment for the model. These extensions make it possible to simulate the model on distributed resources and actually control the system with the model. This paper shows the software environment and explains how distributed simulations are executed.
Keywords: multi agent system, autonomous distributed systems, agent net.
