Agent-Based Modeling

Conceptual Agent based Modeling in Supply Chain: An Economic Perspective

Abstract: The implementation of government legislation, social responsibility, environmental concerns regarding the reduction of waste, hazardous material and other consumer residuals have made the competition between the firms stricter than ever and nowadays firms that want to survive need a more productive and innovative approach toward the financial aspects of their businesses.his pape...

Using Agent-based Modeling

Agent-based Modeling

The theory and practice of agent-based modeling is reviewed, and agent-based modeling toolkits are evaluated and discussed. A tractable selection of toolkits, RepastPy, Repast Simphony, and breve are then employed to develop and visualize a series of increasingly sophisticated agent-based models, starting with a simple network-interaction diagram and proceeding onto the Boids 3D flock simulatio...

Modeling Role-Based Agent Team1

The problem of ensuring agents work as an effective team in dynamic distributed environments still remains a challenging issue. In this paper we proposed a role-based team model. In our model, the role characterizes the responsibilities and provides logic patterns to achieve certain goals and cooperate with others. The agent is an autonomous execution unit and follows the logic patterns that th...

Agent - Based Modeling for Carpooling

Modeling activities and travel for individuals in order to estimate traffic demand leads to large scale simulations. Most current models simulate individuals acting in a mutually independent way except for the use of the shared transportation infrastructure. As soon as cooperation between autonomous individuals is accounted for, the individuals are linked to each other in a network structure an...
