An open-source modelling environment for simulating multi-agent systems with complex agent decision mechanics and dynamic behaviour.

OpenMAS is an open-source multi-agent simulator for Matlab. This software package provides a number of tools necessary for the simulation of multi-agent systems with complex agent definitions. The software packages environment is based upon Matlab's object orientated functionality; allowing users to build and define their own agent definitions and simulate their interactions in defined scenarios.

Quadcopter dynamics	Boids flocking
Interval Avoidance (IA)	Optimal Reciprocal Avoidance (ORCA)

To get started with OpenMAS:

• Check you have a compatible matlab version.
• Download the respository to your PC.
• Visit the project Help Wiki.
• Follow the Quickstart Guide.
• Run the example.
• Begin designing your own agents.

If you have any queries, suggested/implemented improvements, I can be contacted by email at: douthwaiteja@gmail.com. For more information about myself or links to work(s) relating to OpenMAS, you can find them on my website.
