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 …

Agent-based modelling of social risk amplification during product crises
… more importantly, there has been quite limited modelling of risk amplification to date. This study aims to discover a way of formalising social risk amplification, to find out what are the necessary assumptions for modelling risk amplification, and to work out what consequences this modelling …

Simulating tax evasion using agent based modelling And evolutionary search
… of Tax and Evasion (SCOTE). The system performs agent based modeling of the tax ecosystem and searches for tax evasion strategies using a variant of a Genetic Algorithm with a grammar. Current methodologies and tools to detect, discover or recognize tax evasion are not sufficient. In recent years …

Agent-Based Modelling of Decentralized Ant Behaviour using High Performance Computing
… foraging environments. In this thesis, FLAME, an agent-based modelling (ABM) framework capable of producing parallelisable models, was used as the modelling platform and simulations were performed on a High Performance Computing (HPC) grid. This enabled large-scale simulations of complex models to …

Entrepreneurship in the Rural Labour Market: An Agent-Based Modelling Approach
… contribute towards the research on this topic. Agent-based modelling is the main methodology that has been employed to study the various factors which drive entrepreneurship in rural areas in the UK. The thesis develops an occupational choice model of rural entrepreneurship. The dynamics of this …

Skills Mismatch in the Labour Market: An Agent-Based Modelling Approach
… mismatch dynamics in the labour market using an agent-based model which is grounded in economic theory. The findings show the persistence of skills mismatch due to cyclical and structural factors in the economy. The output analyses highlight the sensitivity of skills mismatch to the initial …

Quantifying MyCiTi supply usage via Big Data and Agent Based Modelling
… transactions, which can be considered Big Data. Agent Based modelling (ABM) has been applied internationally as a means of deriving actionable intelligence from Big Data. It is proposed that ABM can be used to unlock the hidden potential within the aforementioned data. This paper demonstrates how …

Agent-Based Modelling and Simulation of Sidewalk Delivery Robots' Interaction with Pedestrians
… explores these dynamics and presents a novel web-based simulator, "TwinWalk", to emulate such interactions. Rooted in a GIS-enhanced digital twin of a campus-like urban setting, TwinWalk employs agent-based modeling, steering behaviours, and the Predictive Avoidance Model (PAM) to illustrate …

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Using Agent-Based Modelling: A General Framework with Case Studies
In recent years, agent-based modelling (ABM) has been increasingly used to elucidate complex adaptive systems. An ABM is a structural computational system that consists of a collection of abstract objects (agents) embedded in a virtual environment that interact based on a set of prescribed rules. …

SMT goes ABMS: Developing Strategic Management Theory using Agent-Based Modelling and Simulation.
… this research adopts a complementary method, agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS), to examine this phenomenon. The simulation model developed here, CTS-SIM, is based on quite simple constructs, but it introduces a rich and novel externally driven environment and represents individual …

Hitelciklusok modellezése empirikus és ágensalapú megközelítésben = Empirical and agent based modelling of credit cycles
Az értekezés a hitelciklusokat próbálja ágensalapú modellezéssel megközelíteni azzal a céllal, hogy a modelleket továbbfejlesztve a makroprudenciális politikai eszközöket egységes modellkeretben lehessen vizsgálni, segítve a makroprudenciális politikai döntéshozatalt. A doktori értekezés elején a …

The development of a spatial explicit agent-based modelling framework to explore past vegetation dynamics
… and implementation of a spatially explicit agent-based modelling suite integrating individual tree dynamics and human interaction from prehistory. Adopting approaches used for contemporary woodlands, primarily forest succession models, these are applied to prehistoric landscapes with change …

Agent-based Modelling and Social Theory Reveal How People Change Their Yards in Response to Wildlife
… 2) conducted experiments with Noticing Birds, an agent-based model (ABM) simulating a socio-ecological system of urban yards, residents, and bird populations. We organized the literature with a framework based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and found that current studies in this field are …

Agent based modelling and simulation of operating strategies of generators and loads in wholesale electricity markets
An intelligent agent-based computational approach combined with traditional optimization techniques forms a powerful simulation platform to investigate performance of a wholesale electricity market and behaviour of its participants. Modern deregulated wholesale electricity markets consist of …

Agent-based modelling of complex systems in political science: Social norms and tolerance in immigrant societies
… attitudes. I develop a Schelling model using Agent-based modelling to address these questions. I introduce the concept of external migration into an existing society and test how, by varying the kind of migration, introducing diversity affects local tolerance. In the second chapter, I show …

Agent-based modelling of cell-cell interactions for in vitro vascular formation and cancer cell growth
… or cancer cell growth, in this thesis an agent-based model is built based on the physical properties of cells which includes the size, shape, direction, and position of cells. In this way the mathematical equations in the model can show the physical variation among modelled cells. The …

Integrated or monofunctional landscapes? Agent-based modelling for evaluating the socioeconomic implications of land use interventions
… they seek to reconcile. Using a Companion Modelling approach, which comprises the development of a role-playing game (RPG) and an agent-based model (ABM), this thesis addressed these caveats. The research was based in the Nilgiris of Western Ghats India, a tropical agricultural system at …
