  • Patent number: 11757699
    Abstract: The multi-agent simulation system includes a plurality of back-end servers provided for each of a plurality of service systems and a plurality of agent simulators provided for each of the plurality of agents. Each of the plurality of service systems provides a service used in the target world. The plurality of agent simulators are programmed to simulate a state of each of the plurality of agents while causing the plurality of agents to interact with each other by exchange of first messages. The plurality of back-end servers and the plurality of agent simulators are programmed to simultaneously simulate a plurality of services by exchanging second messages different from the first messages.

  • Patent number: 11743341
    Abstract: The multi-agent simulation system includes a plurality of agent simulators provided for each of the plurality of agents and a center controller. The plurality of agent simulators are programmed to simulate a state of each of the plurality of agents while causing the plurality of agents to interact with each other by exchanging messages. The center controller is programmed to control a speed ratio of a flow of time in the target world to a flow of time in a real world. Each of the plurality of agent simulators calculates an index value corresponding to a remainder time rate. The remainder time rate is a rate of a remainder time to an update time interval for updating a state of a target agent to be simulated. The center controller controls the speed ratio based on the index value calculated by each of the plurality of agent simulators.

  • Patent number: 11736571
    Abstract: The multi-agent simulation system includes a plurality of agent simulators provided for each of the plurality of agents and a center controller. The plurality of agent simulators are programmed to simulate a state of each of the plurality of agents while causing the plurality of agents to interact with each other by exchanging messages. The center controller is programmed to manage participation of the plurality of agent simulators in a simulation of the target world and separation of the plurality of agent simulators from the simulation of the target world. The center controller separates an agent simulator whose processing does not keep up with a flow of time in the target world from the simulation of the target world.

  • Patent number: 11595481
    Abstract: A multi-agent simulation system performs a simulation of a target world in which a plurality of agents interacting with each other exist. The multi-agent simulation system includes: a plurality of agent simulators configured to perform simulations of the plurality of agents, respectively; and a center controller configured to communicate with the plurality of agent simulators. The center controller performs message filtering based on a distance between the agents. Specifically, the center controller sets a delivery frequency of the delivery message to be low between the agent simulators that perform the simulations of the agents distant from each other. A space of the simulation target world is divided into a plurality of partitions, and the message filtering is performed in units of the partition.

  • Publication number: 20220391661
    Abstract: A multi-agent simulation system performs a simulation of a target world in which a plurality of agents interacting with each other exist. The multi-agent simulation system includes: a plurality of agent simulators configured to perform simulations of the plurality of agents, respectively; and a center controller configured to communicate with the plurality of agent simulators. Operation modes of the center controller include: a first mode that does not perform message filtering; and a second mode that performs the message filtering. When the number of messages that the center controller receives per unit time is equal to or less than a threshold, the center controller selects the first mode. On the other hand, when the number of result messages that the center controller receives per unit time exceeds the threshold, the center controller selects the second mode.

    Abstract: The multi-agent simulation system includes a plurality of agent simulators provided for each of a plurality of agents and a center controller. The plurality of agent simulators simulate a state of each of the plurality of agents while causing the plurality of agents to interact with each other by exchange of messages. The center controller relays transmission and reception of messages between the plurality of agent simulators. The plurality of agents include a plurality of types of agents including types having different time granularity. Each of the plurality of agent simulators transmits a message to the center controller at a transmission time interval corresponding to time granularity of a target agent to be simulated.

The multi-agent simulation system includes: a plurality of agent simulators configured to perform simulations of the plurality of agents, respectively; and a center controller configured to communicate with the plurality of agent simulators. The center controller performs message filtering based on a processing time interval of each agent simulator. More specifically, the center controller sets the number of the delivery message delivered per unit time to the agent simulator whose processing time interval is relatively long to be relatively small.

  • Publication number: 20220391558
    Abstract: The multi-agent simulation system includes a plurality of agent simulators provided for each of a plurality of agents and a center controller. The plurality of agent simulators simulate a state of each of the plurality of agents while causing the plurality of agents to interact with each other by exchange of messages. The center controller relays transmission and reception of messages between the plurality of agent simulators. Each of the plurality of agent simulators estimates the current state of an interaction agent from the past state of the interaction agent that interacts with a target agent, simulates the current state of the target agent by using the estimated current state of the interaction agent, and transmits a message created based on the current state of the target agent to the center controller.
