Abstract: This paper discusses some of the merits of the use of formal logic in multi-agent systems and agent-based simulation research. Reasons for the plethora of formal systems are discussed as well as how formal systems and agent-based social simulation can work together. As an example a formal system for describing social relationships and interactions in a multi-agent system is presented and how this could benefit from agent-based social simulation as well as make a contribution is discussed.
