Abstract :
The advancement of complex System of Systems (SoS) presents many challenges in system design and development for which we are still lacking good solutions. We have developed a proactive middleware implemented in mediators as a solution for managing complexity of SoS engineering. So far, the tool support for developing this technology has been lacking. The paper presents the MACE simulation framework, consisting of a simulator application and a binding mechanism for agent and mediator code for simulating complex SoS that make use of a proactive middleware. We demonstrate the ability of MACE to handle multi-agent communication simulation within the new paradigm with a compelling test case.
