Spark - A generic simulator for physical multi-agent simulations
We describe a new multi-agent simulation system, called Spark, for agents in three-dimensional environments. Our goal in creating Spark was to provide a high degree of flexibility for creating new types of simulations. We implemented a flexible application framework and exhausted the idea of replaceable components in the resulting system. In comparison to specialized simulators, users can effortlessly create new simulations by using a scene description language. Spark is a powerful tool to state different multi-agent research questions. It was already used as official simulator for the first three-dimensional RoboCup Simulation League competition.
