ADELFE 3.0 Design, Building Adaptive Multi Agent Systems Based on Simulation a Case Study

ADELFE is a methodology dedicated to applications characterized by openness and the need of the system adaptation to an environment. It was proposed to guide the designer during the building of an Adaptive Multi-Agent System (AMAS). Given that designing such systems is not an easy task, this leads us to provide means to bring the AMAS design to a higher stage of automation and confidence thanks to Simulation. ADELFE 3.0 is a new version of ADELFE based on a Simulation Based Design approach in order to assist the designer of AMAS and make his task less difficult. This paper focuses on a practical example of building an AMAS using ADELFE 3.0.
