Abstract
In this paper we present the capabilities and behavior of the tutoring system MAS, a system to experiment with (simulations of) complex macroeconomic environments. The users of the system may assume either the role of the State or the role of a company belonging to a specific productive sector. In fact, our system allows students to interact and modify the behavior, both in the short and long-term, of a real scale economy.
Research partially supported by the Spanish MCYT project TIC2003-07848-C02-01 and the Junta de Castilla-La Mancha project PAC-03-001.
