%X In this paper, we discuss the implementation of a simple
pedestrian
simulation that uses a multi agent based design
pattern developed by
the CoSMoS research group. Given the
nature of Multi Agent Systems
(MAS), parallel processing
techniques are inevitably used in their
implementation. Most
of these approaches rely on conventional
parallel
programming techniques, such as threads, Message
Passing Interface
(MPI) and Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
The CoSMoS design patterns
are founded on the use of
Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP), a
parallel
computing paradigm that emphasises a process oriented
rather
than object oriented programming perspective.
