The immune system is of central interest for the life sciences, but its high complexity makes it a challenging system to study. Computational models of the immune system can help to improve our understanding of its fundamental principles. In this paper, we analyze and extend the Celada-Seiden model, a simple and elegant agent-based model of the entire immune response, which, however, lacks biop...

me: Modularized Environment Modeling in Agent-based Simulations

We introduce a new agent-based model of historical warfare, designed to maintain a structure of command between a regiment and its soldiers. It can model various tactics of different kinds of military forces and is simple enough to build massive simulations. The model is used to simulate the Battle of Kokenhausen (1601), waged between armies of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Kingdom...

Most agent-based simulation models of financial markets are discrete-time in nature. In this paper, we investigate to what degree such models are extensible to continuous-time, asynchronous modeling of financial markets. We study the behavior of a learning market maker in a market with information asymmetry, and investigate the difference caused in the market dynamics between the discrete-time ...

In this paper a MAS simulation environment is proposed to simulate the migration process in order to observe dynamic behaviours that may emerge at macro level. As a result of this analysis, it has been possible to identify behaviour patterns that can be represented using agent-based models. Moreover, with this approach predictive techniques has been included in order to represent the complex en...

Deficient safety occurrence reporting by air traffic controllers is an important issue in many air traffic organizations. To understand the reasons for not reporting, practitioners formulated a number of hypotheses, which are difficult to verify manually. To perform automated, formally-based verification of the hypotheses an agent-based modeling and simulation approach is proposed in this paper...

The study of pedestrian behavior covers wide topics, including way finding, choice and decision make, as well as spatial cognition and environmental perception. To address the problem, simulation is now put forward as suitable technique and method for analyzing human spatial behavior. In the paper we present a development architecture for simulating tracking pedestrian in a distributed environm...

Simulating the transmission of HIV requires a model framework that can account for the complex nature of HIV transmission. In this paper the authors present the current state of the art for simulating HIV with agent-based models and highlight some of the significant contributions of current research. The authors then propose opportunities for future work including their plan that involves ident...
