Abstract
The article introduces a new universal software environment for multi agent simulation. The environment presents the model of reality and it is suitable for testing of the existing or new methods, especially in the field of agent coordination, cooperation or collaboration. The software is aimed to be used in any Java based simulation tool and to provide a consistent approach for gathering comparable results among these tools. Moreover, it can be applied in problems such as coordinated decision making, attitude alignment problem, robot position synchronization, dynamic obstacle avoidance and more others. The concept of this tool helps to create programs which are easily transferable and applicable to real robotic platforms.
