Multiagent distributed simulation with GALATEA

In this article we have presented an example that allows showing the design and implementation details of the module gFipaOS that permit incorporate to the simulator of multiagents systems on GALATEA some platforms of distributed agents. In this module GALATEA's agents management is based on the multiagent communication standard called FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents). The model represents a Patio-like world which changes because agents change it and also due to natural events (food appears). The model is implemented on a platform that distributed agents across several computing hosts.
