The research community has made several efforts in proposing agent-based simulators or meta-models, which accommodate for multi-scale agent-based modeling. Unfortunately, the proposed simulators are often tight to a specific model. And the proposed meta-models exist only as formal proposals without a concrete implementation supported by an operational modeling language. The lack of a common operational meta-model and an associated operational modeling language raises the question of reusability and increase the danger of "re-inventing the wheel" when one develops new models. Moreover, the operational semantics of such multi-scale models may differ without having defined a solid theoretical ground. Our research aims at proposing a generic meta-model for multi-scale agent-based modeling. In our approach, we revisit the fundamental notions of agent modeling (agent/environment/scheduler) in order to support a recursive representation of these notions in an agent-based model. To test the operational semantic of the proposed model, we implement this meta-model as an agent-based modeling language in the GAMA simulation platform. This paper presents such a meta-model and how its concepts can be used to formalize multi-scale agent-based models. specialized 122 6 Piscataway IEEE 2012 International Conference on Computing and Communication Technologies, Research, Innovation, and Vision for the Future, Ho Chi Minh Ville (VNM), 2012/02/27-03/01 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010079283 10.1109/rivf.2012.6169849 978-1-4673-0308-8 [F B010079283] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010079283 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/depot/2020-10-22/010079283.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2020-08-19 2020-10-26 fdi:010079283 fre
