Bogtrotters in Space
This is the fourth year in which a team from University College Dublin has participated in the Multi-Agent Programming Contest. This paper describes the system that was created to participate in the contest, along with observations of the team’s experiences in the contest. The system itself was built using the AF-TeleoReactive and AF-AgentSpeak agent programming languages running on the Agent F...
متن کاملAn Agent-Based Model of Conflict in East Africa and the Effect of the Privatization of Land
An agent-based model of conflict among herders and between herders and private farmers of east Africa is presented using the MASON agent-based simulation environment. Herders survive by keeping their herds fed and watered in the inhospitable environment with some of the land becoming unavailable due to privatization. Our model develops realistic population and conflict dynamics. With only basic...
متن کاملDeveloping Artificial Herders Using Jason
This paper gives an overview of a proposed strategy for the “Cows and Herders” scenario given in the Multi-Agent Programming Contest 2009. The strategy is to be implemented using the Jason platform, based on the agent-oriented programming language AgentSpeak. The paper describes the agents, their goals and the strategies they should follow. The basis for the paper and for participating in the c...
متن کاملExploratory analyses of local institutions for climate change adaptation in the Mongolian grasslands: An agent-based modeling approach
There has been a decrease in grazing mobility in the Mongolian grasslands over the past decades. Sedentary grazing with substantial external inputs has increased the cost of livestock production. As a result, the livelihoods of herders have become more vulnerable to climate variability and change. Sedentary grazing is the formal institutional arrangement in Inner Mongolia, China. However, this ...
متن کاملAn Agent-Based Model of Conflict in East Africa And the Effect of Watering Holes
An agent-based model conflict between herdsmen in east Africa using the MASON agent-based simulation environment is presented. Herders struggle to keep their herds fed and watered in a GIS-based, spatially diverse environment with data-driven seasonal cycles. The model produces realistic carrying capacity dynamics and basically plausible conflict dynamics. With the rather basic set of behaviors...
