Last summer I have been working on a simulation environment for my research on Multi-Agent Organizations. We needed a simulator in which we could have a large degree of control over environment, task and organization parameters. The result is a search and rescue environment in which agents have to search an area for victims. When a victim is found, the victim needs to be rescued. Depending on the amount of effort and resources needed to rescue a victim, agents have to coordinate their actions.
The next step is to develop different types of organizations and start running some exiting experiments!
