Implementation and evaluation model with synchronization for the asynchronous search techniques

In this article a general implementation and evaluation model with synchronization and support for message management in Netlogo, for the asynchronous techniques is proposed. This model will allow the use of the NetLogo environment as a basic simulator for the study of asynchronous search techniques. This model can be used in the study of the agents' behavior in several situations, like the priority order of the agents, the behavior in the synchronous and asynchronous case and, therefore, leading to the identification of possible enhancements in the performances of asynchronous search techniques. Starting from the proposed implementation model, in this article we present two multi-agent systems with synchronization which can be used for the implementation and evaluation of the asynchronous techniques, that can run on a single computer.
