Abstract

Emergent agents, those agents whose local interactions can cause unexpected global results, require a method of modeling that is both dynamic and structured. Petri Nets, a modeling tool developed for dynamic discrete event system of mainly functional agents, provide this, and have the benefit of being an established tool. We present here the details of the modeling method here and discuss how to implement its use for modeling agent-based systems.
