Towards “Live” Synthetic Populations for Large-scale Realistic Multiagent Simulations (Doctoral Consortium)
نویسنده
چکیده
Synthetic populations attempt to capture population dynamics of a geographic region and hence are widely used in large-scale multiagent applications simulating real-world phenomena. However, current synthetic populations are mostly static — individuals are assumed to perform same daily routine every day. My thesis aims at taking the first step towards making it a “live” synthetic population that would update automatically to reflect changes in the real population, by incorporating information from social media and other online data resources. As an initial step, I have extended synthetic population model for Washington DC metro area to include transient (tourists and business travelers) population. This is done by combining data from various online and offline data resources by hand. This subpopulation which keeps changing with time, has also shown to have an important effect on disease dynamics of the city. Next, I propose to use information from social media to improve activity patterns of individuals using hidden semi-Markov model.

متن کاملA Multiagent Reinforcement Learning algorithm to solve the Community Detection Problem
Community detection is a challenging optimization problem that consists of searching for communities that belong to a network under the assumption that the nodes of the same community share properties that enable the detection of new characteristics or functional relationships in the network. Although there are many algorithms developed for community detection, most of them are unsuitable when ...
متن کاملTowards Measuring the Project Management Process During Large Scale Software System Implementation Phase
Project management is an important factor to accomplish the decision to implement large-scale software systems (LSS) in a successful manner. The effective project management comes into play to plan, coordinate and control such a complex project. Project management factor has been argued as one of the important Critical Success Factor (CSF), which need to be measured and monitored carefully duri...
متن کاملCommunication Convention Formation in Large Multiagent Systems (Doctoral Consortium)
A fundamental challenge in large-scale multiagent systems (MAS) is to enhance network-related dynamical processes such as establishing social convention in a decentralized fashion by regulating the behavior of the artificial autonomous agents. In my dissertation, I plan to study the specific problem of communication convention formation as a dynamic semiotic process over a large-scale MAS. In a...
متن کاملBiological Removal of phosphate from Synthetic Wastewater Using Bacterial Consortium
The biological phosphorus removal is a microbial process widely used for removing phosphorus fromwastewater to avoid eutrophication of water bodies. The study was aimed to screen the efficient phosphatereducing isolates and used to remove phosphate from synthetic wastewater using batch scale process. Thethree most efficient phosphate reducers were isolated and screened from eu...
