In this paper we discuss virtual agent perception in large scale open environment based MABS.

The multiagent approach allows to effectively address and manage the complex regulation of physiological processes. In this paper we argue why multiagent regulating systems need to be simulated in order to assess the properties of interest. In particular, we consider a multiagent regulator of the glucose-insulin metabolism and we show how the effectiveness of its control activity and other sali...

To investigate whether the theory of evolutionary ethics is a valid explanation for the existence of ethical behaviour, we approach the ethical issues of morality from a computational point-of-view. We define a model of multi-agent societies, in which agents are able to evolve a moral sense. In the model, moral sense is defined by every agent’s personal set of rules, which determines its intera...

We present an investigation into the effects that player personality can have on team performance in games that have been designed to have a social purpose (‘‘serious games’’), such as games intended to enhance more consideration for the environment and for sustainable energy usage. The work involves multi-agent-based model of team play, where individual player personalities are characterized b...

This paper introduces an agent-based model in which selfinterest intelligent agents are adaptive. Agents can either go to find resources in the environment or mine the resources found. Agents trade information about resources in a market. A biased learning mechanism is introduced to update agents’ capabilities of mining and searching. The learning mechanism plays a vital role in the specializat...

In recent times researchers have initiated investigating emotion as a collective property of groups, emphasizing the influence of combined emotions among group members on group processes. Within groups humans recognize and react emotionally to expressions of emotions of other group members. This paper uses a multi-agent-based approach to formalize and simulate such emotion contagion within groups.

This paper aim to present a multi-agent model for a simulation system, whose goal is to help one specific participant of multi-criteria group decision mak-

Multi-agent simulation provides a way to explore results from social studies and provide hints on how these results scale. One particular class of studies that is interesting to explore are economicrelated studies. We developed a multi-agent system that simulates an investment game and incorporates the results from economic-related social studies into the design of the agents. We analyzed how s...

When developping multi-agent systems (MAS) or models in the context of agent-based simulation (ABS), the tuning of the model constitutes a crucial step of the design process. Indeed, agent-based models are generally characterized by lots of parameters, which together determine the global dynamics of the system. Moreover, small changes made to a single parameter sometimes lead to a radical modif...

In this paper, we study the significance of the cognitive capacity in the context of double auction experiments. These experiments are then simulated using artificial agents in an agent-based modeling environment, and the results are compared with the results from human subjects.
