Belife: Teaching Greenhouse Management Using an Agent Based Simulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the structuring ideas behind the development of a multi-agent system. This system, BeLife, is a simulation tool with teaching objectives: (a) it intends to educate the core concepts behind the management of greenhouses and (b) it aims at fostering the understanding of experimentation in this particular context. The paper also describes a framework designed to support the creation of multi-agent systems for virtual environments and discusses its benefits.

Teaching Multiagent Systems using RoboCup and Biter
We describe our experiences using the RoboCup soccerserver simulator and Biter, our own agent platform, for the teaching of a graduate multiagent systems’ class. The RoboCup simulator and Biter are both described. We argue that the combination of RoboCup and Biter forms an effective platform for the teaching of multiagent systems and the distributed mindset. Results from three semesters using t...
متن کاملGeNMSim - The Agent Simulator. Tcl Based Agent Simulation Software
Network Management (NMS) application vendors, often encounter a situation where the device being managed or tested (which includes an SNMP agent) is not available at the time of the NMS application devel opment, whereupon this becomes the critical path in the development cycle of the new device. To shorten this critical path, we’ve developed GeNMSim, which is a Tcl/Tk based Multi Platform SNMP ...
متن کاملHIDES: Towards an Agent-Based Simulator
The simulation platform HIDES is particularly designed for the simulation of logistics systems. The most important characteristics of this discrete-event simulator are the reference model for logistics systems providing a small number of simple generic elements as modeling basis and the strict separation of physical and logical level in the modeling process. The planning and control task in log...
متن کاملSmall group teaching: clinical correlation with a human patient simulator.
The popularity of the problem-based learning paradigm has stimulated new interest in small group, interactive teaching techniques. Medical educators of physiology have long recognized the value of such methods, using animal-based laboratories to demonstrate difficult physiological principles. Due to ethical and other concerns, a replacement of this teaching tool has been sought. Here, the autho...
متن کاملEvaluating the Performance of an Ambidextrous Bank Using an Agent-based Modeling Approach: A Case Study of Sepah Bank
Banks are the financial institutions that collect assets from various sources and allocate them to the sectors that require liquidity. Therefore, banks are an inherent element in the system of every country. As private banks enter financial markets, the demand for diverse banking services increases dramatically. Banks seek to use various techniques to improve their performance in attracting cus...
