Abstract

We will demonstrate the integration of a software-based multi-agent modeling platform with a participatory simulation environment and real-time control over a physical agent (robot). Both real and virtual participants will be able to act as agents in a simulation that will control a physical agent. The backbone of this demonstration is a widely used, freely available, mature modeling platform known as NetLogo.

Multi-agent simulation is a powerful technique used to encode real-world simple rules in virtual agents and then simulate their interactions [1]. Participatory simulations are similar to multi-agent simulation except individuals play the role of virtual ...
From a multi-agent simulation theory to GALATEA
SCSC '07: Proceedings of the 2007 Summer Computer Simulation Conference

This paper discusses a simulation theory with learning agents which is serving as a formal specification to guide the development of GALATEA, a multi-agent simulation platform. We have extended an existing simulation language: GLIDER, with abstractions ...
An agent-based simulation tool for participatory training environment: Application to rodent control campaign
ICSENT 2018: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Software Engineering and New Technologies

In this paper we present a general idea of a participatory training environment in a context of multi-agent participatory simulation applied to rodent control. In a first step, we focus on the agent-based simulation tool that embeds ecosystem models ...
