Current approaches to simulate occupants' wayfinding in AEC mostly employ direct routing
algorithms that assume global knowledge of the navigation environment to compute a …

This paper describes a method to tailor computational design algorithms to evaluate human-
centric outputs in architectural projects by presenting a case study that evaluates teamwork …

Abstract Experiments as Code (ExaC) is a concept for reproducible, auditable, debuggable,
reusable, & scalable experiments. Experiments are a crucial tool to understand Human …

Findings from cognitive science link the architectural complexity of multilevel buildings with
occupants' difficulty in orienting and finding their way. Nevertheless, current approaches to …

Smart buildings are a prevalent example of cyberphysical systems: embedded with sensors,
they emit a continuous data stream based on which algorithms are being developed to infer …

Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) are recognized worldwide as a major threat to hospital
users. In this study, we present the Multi-Agent modelling and simulation of HAI propagation …

For design performance evaluation, this study proposes a novel method based on the theory
of Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander. The proposed method evaluates the …

The notion of “smart cities” has gained much popularity over the past few years, fueled by
emerging needs and opportunities, and accompanied by considerable political and …

In this paper we contribute a method to model and simulate use patterns in built
environments. The aim is to assist architects in analyzing the implications of design …

MAS can be utilized to analyse macro rules of whole system by simulating a number of
active agents. However, simply based on the parameter of specific environment quality and …
