A GIS Aware Agent-Based Model of Pathogen Transmission
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agent-based modeling (ABM) is quickly becoming a choice tool for researchers, as it is very adept at modeling natural phenomena. Spatial data has the ability to further increase the usefulness of an ABM. One way that this can be achieved is through the inclusion of geographical information system (GIS) data. Such integration between ABM and GIS may sound trivial, but it is difficult to do effectively, particularly as the complexity of GIS data and the amount of agents increase. Here, we present methods and recommendations on including GIS data in a complex simulation model. We demonstrate our techniques on an advanced epidemiological model.

A Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....
