Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to present a language for the description of systems of reactive agents situated in an environment.Th is language for Multi—Agent Situated Systems (MASS) has been inspired by a previously introduced Reaction—Diffusion Machine (RDM).I t will be shown that it can describe heterogeneous systems of reactive agents, that is agents with different capabilities through an action model based on reaction—diffusion metaphor.M oreover we show how the model has been applied to the location of suitable sites for extra—urban shopping centres.
