Collectif Argos: Climate Refugees

Environmental effects on human migration constitute an important area in the study of the relationship between population and the environment. In the past decade, there has been growing attention to the populations displaced by floods, storm surges, droughts, and other environmental hazards which will be exacerbated by climate change. Increased concerns about the impacts of global climate and e...

ARGOS: simulating migration processes (demonstration)

In this paper a MAS simulation environment is proposed to simulate the migration process in order to observe dynamic behaviours that may emerge at macro level. As a result of this analysis, it has been possible to identify behaviour patterns that can be represented using agent-based models. Moreover, with this approach predictive techniques has been included in order to represent the complex en...

Compiling ARGOS into Boolean Equations

In most imperative synchronous languages (Esterel, Argos, State-charts,...), the semantics of the control structures may be conveniently described as compositions of Mealy machines. This constitutes the usual formal semantics of Argos, for instance, where basic components are Mealy machines. On the other hand, the compilation process should not be based upon an explicit generation of the Mealy ...
