2004 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
In this paper we introduce Farm, a distributed simulation environment for simulating large-scale multi-agent systems. Farm uses a component-based architecture, allowing the researcher to easily modify and augment the simulation, as well as distribute the various pieces to spread the computational load and improve running time. Technical details of Farm's architecture are described, along with discussion of the rational behind this design. Performance graphs are provided, along with a brief
