AProSiMA - ambiente de resolução cooperativa de problemas baseado em simulação multiagente

Abstract

The complex systems studies has caught researchers ́ attention in several knowledge areas lately, because of increasing interest in the way of systems ́ organization. Examples of complex systems are presented in a variety of situation which we live and they have been largely studied through model of multiagent simulation. However, there is a gap between environments for complex systems studies and their users. This thesis shows a proposal to an environment named AProSiMA, which allows no experts users in program planning, build up their own model of multiagent simulation. The environment still presents like a general proposal to propose a process of cooperative problem solving. By the way it ́s available to the users: acess to information recover and mechanisms to locate experts who may be geographically distributed and invite them to work in a cooperative system looking for a solution to the problem, shared place to discuss and formalize the problems ́ resolution strategies; mechanisms to direct questions and answers to the experts, cooperated groups formation and communication mechanisms which may support up the cooperative work.
