Statistical physics of social dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a wide list of topics ranging from opinion and cultural and language dynamics to crowd behavior, hierarchy formation, human dynamics, and social spreading are reviewed and connections between these problems and other, more traditional, topics of statistical physics are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developing multiagent systems: The Gaia methodology

TL;DR: It is argued that a multiagent system can naturally be viewed and architected as a computational organization, and the appropriate organizational abstractions that are central to the analysis and design of such systems are identified.

Programming Multi-Agent Systems in AgentSpeak using Jason (Wiley Series in Agent Technology)

TL;DR: The Jason Agent Programming Language as discussed by the authors is a programming language based on the BDI Agent Model that allows to define simulated environments and communicate with multiple agents in a BDI agent language.
Book ChapterDOI

Computational Intelligence: An Introduction

TL;DR: The general public becomes rapidly jaded with such ‘bold predictions’ that fail to live up to their original hype, and which ultimately render the zealots’ promises as counter-productive.
Journal ArticleDOI

Agent-based systems for manufacturing

TL;DR: The evolution of agent technologies and manufacturing will probably proceed hand in hand and the former can receive real challenges from the latter, which will have more and more benefits in applying agent technologies, presumably together with well-established or emerging approaches of other disciplines.

Land markets from the bottom up : micro-macro links in economics and implications for coastal risk management

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that personal experience, risk communication, financial instruments like insurance from flooding and technical instruments like building on high elevations are factors that increase individual risk awareness.
Proceedings Article

Cooperation with Bottom-up Reputation Dynamics

TL;DR: This work presents a model where agents can choose both how to react to reputations and how to assign the reputations of others -- making social norms emergent, showing that when agents can spontaneously adopt novel norms, a learning process will see them drift towards socially undesirable outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiagent Architecture for Bridge Capacity Measurement System Using Wireless Sensor Network and Weight in Motion

TL;DR: This article proposes the development of data acquisition and processing method for bridge capacity determination using its dynamic response, based on agent-based in-network processing, which shows the efficiency of the proposed system.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Measuring Self-organisation at Runtime - A Quantification Method based on Divergence Measures.

TL;DR: A concept for a metric for self-organisation is introduced that is based on external observations, neglects the internal behaviour and strategies of autonomous entities, and provides a continuous measure that allows for an easy comparibility.

Using multi-agent systems to simulate dynamic infrastructures populated with large numbers of web service enabled devices

TL;DR: This paper focuses on the efforts to use a multi-agent system to simulate this emerging dynamic infrastructure populated with large number of web-service enabled devices.
