Visual representation of mobile agents - modeling mobility within
the prototype MAPA.

Abstract: Mobile agents in dynamic and open systems are still a challenge, not only within the process of developing mobile agents but also in integrating these in multi-agent systems. Graphical modeling facilitates the development of mobile and concurrent agents within a multi-agent system. This paper picks up the approach of modeling mobility by the of use of reference nets. Hence, these are chosen as the formal basic principle, which incorporate the "nets within nets" paradigm as a suitable framework for mobility. Furthermore, this paper introduces the prototype of the framework Mapa - an architecture for multi-agent systemssupporting mobility, and its visualization. The underlying formal principles are depicted by an extended household robot system. The enhancement of this case study is based upon and accompanied by Mapa. Mapa not only provides a visual representation of (mobile) agents but also a routing agent, which computes routes between set up and connected platforms. In addition, Mapa allows the use of two tools, namely MulanViewer, and Sniffer. The MulanViewer allows the user to keep track of the primary reference nets, and the Sniffer tool logs the message flow during run-time.
