tinyMAS is a multiagent platform that provides base concepts (such as kernel, message, yellow pages, white pages, and transport service) and extended concepts (such as environment, influence, and perception). It aims to provide an easy-to-understand and and easy-to-use platform dedicated for multiagent engineer/research courses.

Recent releases


Changes: This is the first mavenization of the tinyMAS platform. Several minor bugs were also fixed.


Changes: The ConcurrentModificationException exception on the list of the agents is prevented. The global performance of the simulator was enhanced: the doPerception() and doDecisionAndAction() functions are called during the same invocation of the live() function. Several Java warnings were fixed.


Changes: In previous versions, the kernel always uses the localhost as its IP address. It avoids using multiple kernels on a network. This problem is fixed by detecting the first non-loopback IPv4 address.


Changes: This release does not translate the messages sent by network connections to byte arrays, but uses Java object serialization instead.


Changes: The platform now avoids opening a network connection between two kernel instances each time a message must be sent.
