This paper describes how to combine the JADE agent platform with Repast-provided simulation functions for rapidly developing ail environment for the simulation of complex agent model. The main motivation collies from our requirements concerning the simulation of enterprise Value-Adding Networks, whose ultimate objective is to analyse management performance. JADE is useful for creating duel deploying a distributed agent; organisation modelling enterprise workflow model and supply chain network, as well as for system monitoring at the level of agents mid communications. Integrating dynamically human interaction during the simulation is relatively easy. Repast was developed is a. general purpose framework for agent based simulation with appropriate graphic interfaces. Their combination makes it, possible to construct complex model of multi-agent organisation whose execution states can be observed front users and the global simulation results can be used for performance analysis. Their extension and composition mechanisms are described using a. case study of a manufacturing enterprise.

Social simulation

Social simulation is a research field that applies computational methods to study issues in the social sciences. The issues explored include problems in computational law, psychology, organizational behavior, sociology, political science, economics, anthropology, geography, engineering, archaeology and linguistics . Social simulation aims to cross the gap between the descriptive approach used in the social sciences and the formal approach used in the natural sciences, by moving the focus on the processes/mechanisms/behaviors that build the social reality.

Agent-based social simulation

Agent-based social simulation (or ABSS) consists of social simulations that are based on agent-based modeling, and implemented using artificial agent technologies. Agent-based social simulation is a scientific discipline concerned with simulation of social phenomena, using computer-based multiagent models. In these simulations, persons or group of persons are represented by agents. MABSS is a combination of social science, multiagent simulation and computer simulation.

Simulation

A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key characteristics or behaviors of the selected system or process, whereas the simulation represents the evolution of the model over time. Often, computers are used to execute the simulation. Simulation is used in many contexts, such as simulation of technology for performance tuning or optimizing, safety engineering, testing, training, education, and video games.

Generalizing Bulk-Synchronous Parallel Processing for Data Science: From Data to Threads and Agent-Based Simulations

Christoph Koch, Peter Lindner, Zilu Tian, Val Tannen

We generalize the bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) processing model to make it better support agent-based simulations. Such simulations frequently exhibit hierarchical structure in their communication patterns which can be exploited to improve performance. ...

Reinforcement learning approach to control an inverted pendulum: A general framework for educational purposes

Jesus Sanchez Rodriguez

Machine learning is often cited as a new paradigm in control theory, but is also often viewed as empirical and less intuitive for students than classical model-based methods. This is particularly the case for reinforcement learning, an approach that does n ...
