Agent-Based Modelling framework successfully models real life problems that support simulation with diverse strategies and mechanisms devoid of the restrictions set by mathematical tractability. Union of game theory and agent based modelling has elucidated the dynamics of different social and economic scenarios. In this study, we present our efforts to develop an agent based model through embra...

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 infecti...

7 Evolutionary theory presents a number of conceptual hurdles for the undergraduate student. 8 In addition, the extended timespan over which many evolutionary processes occur, coupled with 9 the time constraints of the typical undergraduate laboratory, restricts the range of relevant labo10 ratory exercises available to augment instruction in an undergraduate course. Computer-based 11 simulatio...

Our subject is oriented towards investigation of potential ways of societal organization, that allow for collective intelligent organization and management of resources. The main objective of such organizations is the exploration of the social energy from the existing societies. We conjecture that an organizational model that fulfills the mentioned requirements is the Fractal Social Organizatio...

Today there are numerous robots in different applications domains despite the fact that they still have limitations in perception, actuation and decision process. Consequently, robots usually have limited autonomy, they are domain specific or have difficulty to adapt on new environments. Learning is the property that makes an agent intelligent and the crucial property that a robot should have t...

The spreading of memes on the web played an important role in the emergence of Internet communities. The principal purpose of the study is to implement a simulation model to analyze the process of emergence of Internet communities. The model shows the importance of factors such as the interactions between online agents as well as their propensity to adopt and remember new memes. In addition, it...

Agent-based models are increasingly being used to simulate and analyze various transportation problems, from traffic flow [15] to air traffic control [1]. One transportation industry that has not received as much attention from the multi-agent systems community is seaport container terminals. It can be argued that the operations that take place at a container terminal are as complex as that of ...

Fish farming is an important industry along the Norwegian west coast. This industry provides labor opportunities and financial income in areas that are often thinly populated. Fish are subject to diseases carried by pathogens. The value of the fish that are lost due to disease is worrisome, and emergent diseases continue to pose a severe challenge to the aquaculture industry. We have built an a...

Abstract The paper proposes a new method to quantify the flow of water and accumulation zones on bedrock panels. This can be used investigate how influences placement rock art. analysis is based photogrammetric models which flows accumulations were modelled using NetLogo simulation SAGA hydrology package. To test hypothesis that was structuring element in creation art, case studies Bohus-granit...

The complexity of systems and their multi-faceted relationships mean that the combined application of simulation methods, or hybrid simulation, will enable synergies across techniques and will provide greater insights to problem solving. In this paper we present a hybrid simulation case study in which two models have been developed; an Agent-Based Simulation (ABS) and a Discrete-Event Simulatio...
