Abstract
We can identify two approaches for realizing synergies between multi-agent systems and distributed simulation. The first one is to incorporate agents into a simulation environment, specifically into an HLA federation, using interoperability techniques. The second is to build an agent environment based on HLA so that the RTI is employed to serve as the medium for agent communication and management. For preliminaries, we briefly introduce agent-based simulation and describe a cognitive agent architecture as an example agent architecture. Then, we discuss these two integration approaches.
