Wayward Agents in a Commuting Scenario
نویسندگان
چکیده
In our daily lives we often have to face binary decisions where we seek to take the minority’s choice, e.g., in traffic scenarios where we have to choose between similar alternative routes. We have studied agent coordination mechanisms in a binary decision model introduced in the literature recently: the Minority Game. Extending this model, we have introduced personalities which model certain types of human behaviour. Different populations of these personalities have been simulated. It was found that there is one personality which performs better than the average: the wayward personality. We have also extended the concept of Hamming distance (a standard probabilistic measure for the difference between strategies) to account for our personalities; this notion is useful for qualitatively explaining or predicting results. Our work gives insights into the impact of commuters’ behaviours and it addresses relegated issues in traditional traffic simulation.

Evolving Populations of Agents with Personalities in the Minority Game
In our daily lives we often have to face binary decisions where we seek to take the minority’s choice, e.g., in traffic scenarios where we have to choose between similar alternative routes. In previous papers, we have dealt with an agent coordination mechanism for binary decision models introduced in the literature recently: the El Farol Bar Problem. Extending this model, we have proposed perso...
متن کاملAgent Based Simulation of Sale and Manufacturing Agents Acting Across a Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
Agent based modeling and simulation consider the behavior of agents acting in a system. The agents' interactions result in changing the agent’s behavior, the whole agent based system, and its environment. In this study, the manufacturing, sale, and receiving orders behaviors pertinent to manufacturing and sale agents acting across a pharmaceutical supply chain of an Iranian manufacturing medici...

متن کاملMaximal subsets of pairwise non-commuting elements of some finite p-groups
Let G be a group. A subset X of G is a set of pairwise noncommuting elements if xy ̸= yx for any two distinct elements x and y in X. If |X| ≥ |Y | for any other set of pairwise non-commuting elements Y in G, then X is said to be a maximal subset of pairwise non-commuting elements. In this paper we determine the cardinality of a maximal subset of pairwise non-commuting elements in any non-abelian...
