abstract = { Simulations are used extensively for studying
artificial intelligence. However, the simulation
technology in use by and designed for the artificial
intelligence community often fails to take advantage
of much of the work by the larger simulation
community to produce distributed, repeatable, and
efficient simulations. We present the System for
Parallel Agent Discrete Event Simulation, (SPADES),
which is a simulation environment for the artificial
intelligence community. SPADES focuses on the agent
as a fundamental simulation component. The thinking
time of an agent is tracked and reflected in the
results of the agents' actions by using a
software-in-the-loop mechanism. SPADES supports
distributed execution of the agents across multiple
systems, while at the same time producing repeatable
results regardless of network or system load. We
discuss the design of SPADES and give experimental
results. SPADES is flexible enough for a variety of
application domains in the artificial intelligence
research community.},
