The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/3-540-44812-8_19Proceedings of Third International Workshop, IVA 2001 Madrid, Spain, September 10–11, 2001Agent-based simulation is a powerful and natural way to carry out complex simulation experiments, in which many autonomous and interacting entities take part. The key abstraction in this methodology is the autonomous agent, which interacts with other agents via discrete events.This paper has been sponsored by the Spanish Interdepartmental Commission of Science and Technology (CICYT), project number TEL1999-018
