Donner corps aux interactions (l’interaction enfin concrétisée)

Since several years, we use in our team the IODA methodology to describe and realize multi-agent simulations. This method is original and not similar to the others because it makes Interactions becoming concrete and then able to become sufficiently general to be reused in many contexts. The aim of this paper is to identify some hard problems in this kind of simulation and to show how IODA can b...

A critical examination of Copi’s crit...

Construction d'une plate-forme int\'egr\'ee pour la cartographie de l'exposition des populations aux substances chimiques de l'environnement
