Abstract: Model representation is one of the most important issues during Agent-based modeling.Research on general ABMS model representation can reduce the threshold of using ABMS tools,which plays a significant role in the interdisciplinary research.As the leader of existing ABMS platforms,FLAME is not only with a high completeness,but also outstanding advantages in representation,code generation,visualization,etc.In this context,FLAME and XML were selected as the basis of general model representation.With inheriting their advantages of conciseness,completeness and parallelization,a deep research was achieved to find out the potential weakness and improvement possibilities,with targeted solutions as well.Finally,an Agent model example was tested and verified for the feasibility of solutions.

Key words: Model representation,ABMS,FLAME,XML
