Abstract
Performance visualization is one of the performance evaluation techniques that can be used to perform a global analysis of a system’s behaviour, from its internal point of view. In this work, we describe how a visualization tool, initially designed for classical distributed / parallel systems, has been adapted to visualize the internal behaviour of a multi-agent system. We present such an adaptation though a multi-agent application that can be considered as a typical example for analysis and performance study.
