Using a Soccer team as a test bed for multi-agent systems simulation

Abstract

The STMAS system is intended to imitate a soccer team and its behavior; we believe it can be used effectively as a test bed for multi-agent systems. It is constructed utilizing distributed agents that interact, communicate, and negotiate with each other to achieve the team objectives. It is based on the Jade simulation platform. The system is tested and compared to a pure soccer team using multiple MAS techniques. The results demonstrated that applying MAS techniques of negotiation and task distribution improves team performance, and STMAS is offered as an efficient test bed for new and distinct MAS techniques with varied scenario experiments. In addition, a mathematical model is created to compare the simulation results. Overall, STMAS provides a versatile and efficient MAS simulation and evaluation test bed. It is an excellent platform for comparing and evaluating various MAS approaches.
