An overview of agent-based traffic simulators

Environment Updating and Agent Scheduling Policies in Agent-based Simulators

Since Schelling’s segregation model, the ability to represent individual behaviours and to execute them to produce emergent collective behaviour has enabled interesting studies in diverse domains, like artificial financial markets, crowd simulation or biological simulations. Nevertheless, the description of such experiments are focused on the agents behaviours, and seldom clarify the exact proc...

Telescope simulators for Hubble: an overview of optical designs.

Various optical configurations for Hubble Space Telescope simulators have been proposed, and some are being built for use as verification tools to characterize the performance of second-generation instruments during ground testing. We describe the Hubble Space Telescope, present an overview of three optical designs for simulators, and discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of each co...

Agent Technology: An Overview

Agent Architecture: An Overview

Introduction The advancement of the Internet technology has increased the need for distributed, concurrent, heterogeneous and dynamic application systems. Agent technology is a new paradigm suitable for developing such systems that situates and operates in a dynamic and heterogeneous environment. What exactly is an agent? To date, there is no widely accepted definition of what an agent is. In t...

Nanobiosensors and fluorescence based biosensors: An overview

A biosensor can sense biological elements after interaction with the recognition element. The signal produced due to interaction of the analyte with its biochemical element is transduced by a transducer and detected by appropriate modes. The miniaturization of these biosensors at the nano level using nanostructures as a platform for sensing the analyte or its detection is called a nanobiosensor...
