Abstract

This paper discusses the establishment of multi-agent patrolling (MAP) as a benchmark for multi-agent systems (MAS). It argues that MAP can be a good benchmark for MAS, and points out what is lacking in order for this to happen. From the identified lacuna of not having a testbed, it presents SimPatrol, a simulator of MAS constructed strictly for the patrolling task. With such testbed, new results of performance are obtained for some of the previously proposed patrolling strategies.
