Paul Davidsson : Agent Based Social Simulation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A description of the area of Agent Based Social Simulation (ABSS) from a computer scientist's perspective is presented. We begin by defining ABSS by positioning it with respect to the three research areas that it is related to, i.e., agent-based computing, the social sciences, and computer simulation. We then discuss the role of ABSS and how it may aid cross-fertilisation between these areas.

Multi Agent Based Simulation: Beyond Social Simulation
Multi Agent Based Simulation (MABS) has been used mostly in purely social contexts. However, compared to other approaches, e.g., traditional discrete event simulation, object-oriented simulation and dynamic micro simulation, MABS has a number of interesting properties which makes it useful also for other domains. For instance, it supports structure preserving modeling of the simulated reality, ...
متن کاملMulti-Agent-Based Simulation for Analysis of Transport Policy and Infrastructure Measures
In this paper we elaborate on the usage of multi-agent-based simulation (MABS) for quantitative impact assessment of transport policy and infrastructure measures. We provide a general discussion on how to use MABS for freight transport analysis, focusing on issues related to input data management, validation and verification, calibration, output data analysis, and generalization of results. The...
متن کاملSoftware Agents for Intelligent Monitoring and Control*
We argue for the appropriateness of using software agents for the monitoring and control of bioprocesses. Different approaches to the design of individual agents as well as complete multi-agent systems are discussed. This is followed by a presentation of a number of successful agent-based monitoring and control applications from different domains. We conclude by discussing the advantages and di...
متن کاملTowards an Agent-Based Model of Passenger Transportation
In this paper, we present a multi-agent based simulation model for supporting the decision making in urban transport planning. The model can be used to investigate how different transport infrastructure investments and policy instruments will affect the travel choices of passengers. We have identified four main categories of factors influencing the choice of travel: cost, time, convenience, and...
متن کاملAgent-based Approaches and Classical Optimization Techniques for Dynamic Distributed Resource Allocation: A preliminary study
The strengths and weaknesses of agent-based approaches and mathematical optimization techniques are analyzed and compared. Their appropriateness for dynamic distributed resource allocation is evaluated. We conclude that their properties are complementary and that it seems fruitful to try to combine the approaches. Some suggestions of such hybrid systems are sketched.
