abstract = {Simulations are an excellent tool for studying
artificial intelligence. However, the simulation
technology in use by and designed for the artificial
intelligence community often fails to take advantage
of much of the work by the larger simulation
community to produce stable, repeatable, and
efficient simulations. We present the new system
Middleware for Parallel Agent Discrete Event
Simulation (MPADES) as a simulation substrate for
the artificial intelligence community. MPADES
focuses on the agent as a fundamental simulation
component. The ``thinking time'' of an agent is
tracked and reflected in the results of the agents'
actions. MPADES supports and manages the
distribution of agents across machines while being
robust to variations in network performance and
machine load. We present the system in detail and
give experimental results for a simple world model
and set of agents. MPADES is not tied to any
particular simulation, and is a powerful new tool
for creating simulations for the study of artificial
intelligence. },
