Comparison of three agent-based platforms on the basis of a simple epidemiological model (WIP)
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the extensive use of agent-based modeling and simulation, there are many agent-based platforms available. The objective of this paper is to compare 3 agent-based platforms: NetLogo, Repast, and Cormas based on the results of the simulation obtained from the same set of experimental scenarios. For this purpose, agent-based SIR model is chosen to study the pattern of the spread of an infectious disease within certain population over time. The methodology for the comparison is to design and implement the same agent-based SIR model in all these platforms, perform numerous experiments with the model and compare the outputs using crosscorrelation analysis and similarity measure using Manhattan distance. The experimental results show that the agent-based platforms may inherently be biased by design and implementation choices, and they may lead to experimental results that can often be invalidated by other platforms.

In this paper effect of pile-soil consideration in obtaining seismic response offshore structure is assessed due to earthquake loading. InducedSeismic force is one of the most important excitations for the dynamic response of an offshore structure. According to API, Seismic forces should be accounted in platform design for seismically active regions in order to determine the allowable seismic r...

متن کاملLoad-Frequency Control: a GA based Bayesian Networks Multi-agent System
Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...
