This article gives an introduction to agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS). After a
general discussion about modeling and simulation, we address the basic concept of ABMS …

Existing object tracking algorithms generally use some form of local optimisation, assuming
that an object's position and shape change smoothly over time. In some situations this …

CAD modelling can be referred to as the process of generating an integrated multiple view
model as a representation of multiple views of engineering design. In many situations, a …

The design of multiagent simulations devoted to complex systems, addresses the issue of
modeling behaviors that are involved at different space, time, behavior scales, each one …

We conceptualize a decentralized software application as one constituted from autonomous
agents that communicate via asynchronous messaging. Modern software paradigms such …

This paper describes four design patterns that aim at systematizing and simplifying the
modelling and the implementation of multi-level agent-based simulations. Such simulations …

What are the best practices for leading a workforce in which human employees have
merged cognitively and physically with electronic information systems and work alongside …

The agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) paradigm has been used to analyze,
reproduce, and predict phenomena related to many application areas. Although there are …

In simulation projects, it is generally beneficial to have a toolset that allows following a more
formal approach to system analysis, model design and model implementation. Such formal …

The agent paradigm can be quite straightforwardly applied to handle complex uncertain
problems where global knowledge is inherently distributed and shared by a number of …
