Implementation of a Molecular Simulator Based on a MultiAgent System

This work aims to demonstrate how the requirement of modeling complex systems as the biological ones and the advances in multi-agent systems are combined to give a simple, scalable, robust and reliable simulation system. The mobility feature of the BESA agent framework and an interaction biological model are the basis for the construction of a molecular simulation application. The main bioinformatics application´s requirements, such as the big number of interacting entities, the high calculations volume, its parallel and distributed processing nature and the need of solution´s scalability, are outstanding. A good biological and agent design complemented with the locality model and the profit of agent´s mobility makes this kind of applications feasible.
