  abstract=      "In this paper, we discuss the implementation of a simple
     pedestrian
simulation that uses a multi agent based design
     pattern developed by
the CoSMoS research group. Given the
     nature of Multi Agent Systems
(MAS), parallel processing
     techniques are inevitably used in their
implementation. Most
     of these approaches rely on conventional
     parallel
programming techniques, such as threads, Message
     Passing Interface
(MPI) and Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
     The CoSMoS design patterns
are founded on the use of
     Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP), a
parallel
     computing paradigm that emphasises a process oriented
     rather
than object oriented programming perspective."
