Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation

Agent Based Modeling and Simulation

The term computer simulation is related to the usage of a computational model in order to improve the understanding of a system's behavior and/or to evaluate strategies for its operation, in explanatory or predictive schemes. There are cases in which practical or ethical reasons make it impossible to realize direct observations: in these cases, the possibility of realizing 'in-machina' experime...

Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation

peared? Was this caused by climate changes? What type of recruitment strategy among social insects is best adapted to their particular environment? How much time does it take to evacuate an airport if people have limited perception caused by smoke as well as restricted mobility? What if many of these people travel in groups or families? How long does it take for commuters to reach their destina...

Agent-based Defense Modeling and Simulation

Agent based scientific simulation and modeling

The simulation and modeling of complex physical systems often involves many components because (i) the physical system itself has components of differing natures, (ii) parallel computing strategies require many (somewhat independent) components, and (iii) existing simulation software applies only to simpler geometrical shapes and physical situations. We discuss how agent based networks are appl...

Agent Based Modeling and Simulation with ActoMoS

ActoMoS is an actor-based software library for the development of agent-based models and for their simulation. This library offers software components and tools for modeling and simulating systems in different application domains. In particular, it allows the definition of agent model by reusing or extending a set of predefined agent models and supports efficient and scalable agent-based simula...
