Intelligent Farmer Agent for Multi-agent Ecological Simulations Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the development of a bivalve farmer agent interacting with a realistic ecological simulation system. The purpose of the farmer agent is to determine the best combinations of bivalve seeding areas in a large region, maximizing the production without exceeding the total allowed seeding area. A system based on simulated annealing, tabu search, genetic algorithms and reinforcement learning, was developed to minimize the number of iterations required to unravel a semi-optimum solution by using customizable tactics. The farmer agent is part of a multi-agent system where several agents, representing human interaction with the coastal ecosystems, communicate with a realistic simulator developed especially for aquatic ecological simulations. The experiments performed revealed promising results in the field of optimization techniques and multi-agent systems applied to ecological simulations. The results obtained open many other possible uses of the simulation architecture with applications in industrial and ecological management problems, towards sustainable development.

متن کاملECOSIMNET: A Framework For Ecological Simulations
Simulating ecological models is always a difficult task, not only because of its complexity but also due to the slowness associated with each simulation run as more variables and processes are incorporated into the complex ecosystem model. The computational overhead becomes a very important limitation for model calibration and scenario analysis, due to the large number of model runs generally r...
