Ontology-driven agent-based modeling approach
… costly, intricate, and sometimes impracticable. Agent-based simulation is a way to explore global patterns, such as community dynamics, particularly in scenarios where interactions between individuals are reasonably well-defined. However, a significant drawback of contemporary agent-based models …

Three essays in agent-based macroeconomics
… is aimed at offering an insight into the agent-based methodology and its possible application to the macroeconomic analysis. Relying on this methodology, I deal with three different issues concerning heterogeneity of economic agents, bounded rationality and interaction. Specifically, the …

Smarter Agents for Agent-Based Models
Agent-based models (ABMs) are powerful tools for decision-making due to their ability to simulate systems with individual-level granularity. Recent advances have mitigated the computational costs of scaling ABMs to real-world population sizes; however, the potential of ABMs is also constrained by …

POPULATION DYNAMICS FOR MOBILE AGENT BASED SYSTEMS
Computing systems are increasingly distributed in nature and information is no longer confined to a single computer, but stored on various computers and can be under constant change. As a result traditional computing paradigms, such as the client-server communication model used for Web …

Agent-based Modeling of Emergency Building Evacuation
… resulting in serious injuries and casualties. Agent-based methods have been successfully employed to investigate the collective human behavior during emergency evacuation in cases where the configurational space is extremely simple - usually one rectangular room - but not in evacuations of …

Agent Based Modelling of Auxin Transport Canalisation
… This thesis describes work developing agent-based simulations of auxin transport canalisation. Auxin transport canalisation is the dominant theory describing how auxin promotes its own transport through a tissue from a site of auxin biosynthesis to an auxin sink. Directional transport …

Planning techniques for agent based 3D animations.
The design of autonomous agents capable of performing a given goal in a 3D domain continues to be a challenge for computer animated story generation systems. We present a novel prototype which consists of a 3D engine and a planner for a simple virtual world. We incorporate the 2D planner into the …

Agent-based techniques for National Infrastructure Simulation
… infrastructure simulation problem. Variable and agent-based simulation models are described and compared. The bottom-up approach of the agent-based model is found to be more suitable than the top-down approach of the variable-based model. Supercomputer and distributed, or grid computing solutions …

Agent-based open connectivity for decision support systems
… of a DSS. The emergence of intelligent agent technology fulfils the requirements of developing innovative and efficient DSS applications as intelligent agents offer various advantages, such as mobility, flexibility, intelligence, etc., to tackle the major problems in existing DSSs. …

Evolutionary learning multi-agent based information retrieval systems
… using fuzzy inference, and quantitative feedback based on evolutionary algorithms (Genetic Algorithms) fitness measures. Furthermore, the retrieval system's design approach is based on a multi-agent design approach, in order to handle the complexities of the information retrieval system including: …

Automating Mobile Task Offloading with Agent Based Auctions
… manner. This payment for services to cloud is based on services we require for cloud to process. These services are further differentiated according to types, availability and quality. For instance, to run any particular application, one cloud provider offers less price than other cloud …

Application of Agent Based Modeling to Insurance Cycles
… implemented as a single representative economic agent with full rationality to solve the utility optimization. To investigate insurance pricing (or underwriting) cycles, the existing literature attempts to model various isolated aspects of the market, keeping other factors exogenous. We and that …

Analytic modelling of agent-based network routing algorithms.
… ant colonies. This class utilizes ant-like agents, which autonomously traverse the network and collectively construct a distributed routing policy. Agent-based routing algorithms belonging to this class do not require a complete model of the network, and are able to adapt autonomously to …

Optimization and Optimal Control of Agent-Based Models
Agent-based models are computer models made up of agents that can exist in a finite number of states. The state of the system at any given time is determined by rules governing agents' interaction. The rules may be deterministic or stochastic. Optimization is the process of finding a solution that …
