Mobility and Information Flow: Percolation in a Multi-Agent Model

Mobility and Information Flow: Percolation in a Multi-Agent Model

In real world situations, each person is generally in contact with only a small fraction of the entire population and exchange information through these interactions. Their number and their frequency vary from one to another individual and may be much depending on mobility of individuals. The objective of this article is to better understand how human mobility may have an impact on mobile socia...

Multi-agent information system for the assistance to urban mobility

According to the exponential growth of services available on large distributed networks, transport customers require relevant, interactive and instantaneous information during their travels. Thus, we designed and implemented a multi-agent information system using a special kind of software agents: the Mobile Agents. This work belongs to the national French project VIATIC.MOBILITE from the indus...

A Computational Model and Multi - Agent Simulation for Information Assurance

The value of information in a multi-agent market model

We present an experimental and simulated model of a multi-agent stock market driven by a double auction order matching mechanism. Studying the effect of cumulative information on the performance of traders, we find a non monotonic relationship of net returns of traders as a function of information levels, both in the experiments and in the simulations. Particularly, averagely informed traders p...

A model for agent mobility and interaction

SOME AGENT PROPERTIES. vanishing agents or nodes in the agent system. Given these requirements, agents are constantly facing a problem of deciding where to go and with whom to work with. These two decisions, pertaining to mobility and interaction, have been singled out as fundamental of even aeent svstem. We B. Aaents I . " . " present an algorithm targeted at these two decisions while it fulfi...
