Agent-oriented approach based on discrete event systems (WIP)

Inspired by existing works, we propose software architecture for coupling the MAS and DEVS formalism. This architecture is designed to enable the modelling of large quantities of agents. Previous works often associated with an agent to a DEVS model. The complexity of the system increases proportionately with the number of agents. We describe an approach to group a set of agents in the same DEVS model, and allow representing many more agents.
