Towards "live" synthetic populations for large-scale realistic multiagent simulations
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 کاملParticipatory technologies for designing ambient intelligence systems
To realize large-scale socially embedded ambient intelligence systems, this paper proposes a design methodology towards society-centered design. Participatory technologies and multiagent systems are essential in the new system design perspective. Multiagent systems make it possible to test and predict the behavior of socially embedded systems. We have already developed the scenario description ...
متن کاملMassive Multiagent-Based Urban Traffic Simulation
As it is getting easier to obtain reams of data on human behavior via ubiquitous devices, it is becoming obvious that we must work on two conflicting research directions for realizing multiagent-based social simulations; creating large-scale simulations and elaborating fine-scale human behavior models. The challenge in this paper is to achieve massively urban traffic simulations with fine-grain...
