  abstract = {{L}arge-scale simulations often use multiple agent representations to permit the study of specific multi-agent phenomena, and to find a balance between run-time performance and level of detail of the simulation. {A}lthough these approaches are effective, they do not always offer the desired level of analysis, especially when this level is between the resolutions of the models available. {I}n this paper, we aim at offering a finer method in exploring this tradeoff by introducing an intermediate level between two given resolutions, which can apply to all agent models and allows a more progressive transition to offer the desired level of analysis. {W}e introduce a framework for such a methodology and evaluate it through the extension of an existing approach, along two criteria: its impact on computational resources, and an estimate of the dissimilarity between a simulation using our methodology and one without. {I}nitial experiments show that consistency is almost maintained while {CPU} gain varies from low to significant depending on the context.},
