In modern societies the demand for mobility is increasing daily. One challenge to
researchers dealing with transportation is to find efficient ways to model and predict traffic …

Cooperative behaviour is one of the challenges most pronounced in the RoboCup Middle
Size League. Especially the dynamic nature of the domain, which calls for swift adaptation …

Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) increases processor throughput by allowing the parallel
execution of several threads. However, fully sharing processor resources may cause …

The aim of this work is to propose a cloud computing architecture simulation platform for
social human-robot interaction. This paper explains the design and development of this …

Abstract Hashkat (http://hashkat. org) is a free, open source, agent-based simulation
software package designed to simulate large-scale online social networks (eg, Twitter …

In this contribution, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and their impact on traffic systems
are discussed. Although traffic forecast offers the possibility to rearrange the temporal …

Multi-agent systems (MAS) are often extremely complex and it can be difficult to formally
verify their properties. As a result, design and implementation remains largely experimental …

There is a growing demand for robust distributed computing and systems in sensor
networks. Interaction between nodes is required to manage and distribute information. One …

Simulation is on the one hand an important application area for multi-agent systems, but on
the other hand also a useful tool for building agent applications. This chapter investigates …

One of the most interesting questions about social insects is how task allocation is
controlled. Often specialization of individual animals occurs; there exist different hypotheses …
