In this paper we will report on these efforts. We first discuss the concept of multi-agent systems and explain the special type of multi-agent system used for simulation of cognitive and spatial situations. The following three sections each review one of the three simulations we have constructed. The last section identifies the similarities in these approaches and lists questions we hope to investigate in the future with this method.
