Abstract
Creating multi-agent simulations is a challenging task often requiring programming skills at the professional software developer level. Model driven methods of software development are an appropriate tool for reducing the complexity of the development process of such simulations. The modeller is relieved from implementing time consuming programming details and can concentrate on the application itself. We present the domain specific language Athos with which network based traffic simulations can be created declaratively. The models are platform independent and executable code can be generated for two popular multi-agent platforms. We use a simple yet illustrative example to show how Athos can be applied.
