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.

Destination choice modeling of discretionary activities in transport microsimulations

Andreas Horni
TL;DR: This thesis’ goal is providing an operational shopping and leisure destination choice module, implemented for the multi-agent transport simulation MATSim, efficiently applicable for large-scale scenarios, and easily adoptable for other similar simulation models.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A taxonomy of architectural patterns for self-adaptive systems

TL;DR: This paper proposes a classification of self-adaptation patterns by means of a taxonomy organized around the locus in which the feedback loops promoting adaptation reside, and shows that the proposed classification covers most self- Adaptation patterns, and enables deriving further ones by applying a simple set of composition mechanisms.
Journal Article

Evolutionary Query Optimization for Heterogeneous Distributed Database Systems

TL;DR: This work presents a multi-agent based mechanism to meet this demand to speedup traditional relational database queries, and also compares the result with some commonly used query optimization algorithms.

Hybrid simulation for health and social care: the way forward, or more trouble than it's worth?

TL;DR: A hybrid simulation model for age-related macular degeneration, a common cause of sight loss in people aged over 65, is described to explore the wider links between the health and social care systems in the UK.

Modeling and Simulation of Processes in a Factory of the Future

TL;DR: Modelling and simulation will be an integral part of the planning and control of the processes of factories of the future, with a description of modelling and simulation routing in the frame of Industry 4.0.
