This paper is a tutorial on action selection for Agent-Based Modelling. Having a clear idea of how you are organizing your agent’s intelligence will make your code cleaner and easier to maintain, and your models easier to communicate to others. This paper describes four means of orgainizing agent action selection in increasing order of complexity These are: environmental determinism, finite state machines, basic reactive plans, and Parallel-rooted, Ordered, Slipstack Hierarchical reactive plans.

We report on several experiments, gathered on the field, showing that the architecture we have developed is able to render, in a timely fashion, on a wireless device, the results of cooperative simulation activities performed by agent-based programming platforms.

The subject of the paper is computer simulation of ammunition consumption until the first hit in a sudden two-tank conflict. The first hit is important because it is often decisive in a two-tank conflict issue. The tanks are armed with different main weapons, one of which is a guided antiarmour missile, and the other is a classic gun which fires armour piercing rounds. The sudden conflict of tanks has been defined, starting assumptions have been given and the simulation model has been presented by means of the graphic representation of the platforms moving, mathematical transforms and algorithmic description. The model has been implemented by means of the GPSS World simulation language. The results of 10 experiments have been analysed, with various initial distances of the tanks in conflict.

We propose a method to procedurally generate a familiar yet complex human artifact: the city. We are not trying to reproduce existing cities, but to generate artificial cities that are convincing and plausible by capturing developmental behavior. In addition, our results are meant to build upon themselves, such that they ought to look compelling at any point along the transition from village to metropolis.

This paper discusses the design and implementation of a system capable of harnessing the computational power of a distributed simulation infrastructure with the design efficiency of an agent-toolkit. The system permits integration, through an HLA federation, of multiple instances of the Java-based lightweight-agent simulation toolkit RePast. Our main contribution is in abstractly defining the engineering process necessary in creating such middleware, and in reporting on our experience in the specific case of the RePast toolkit.

The paper presents a study on utilising Thomas Schelling’s model, to perform topology adaptation in unstructured decentralised P2P networks. Schelling’s model suggests an explanation for the existence of segregated neighbourhoods in America. The paper uses an abstract version of Schelling’s algorithm. A simulator to study different variations of Schelling’s model has been implemented. The paper presents a case study demonstrating how the abstract algorithm can be used to improve bandwidth usage in P2P networks.

NetLogo is a multi-agent programming language and modeling environment for simulating complex phenomena. It is designed for both research and education and is used across a wide range of disciplines and education levels. In this paper, though, we focus on NetLogo as a tool for research and for teaching at the undergraduate level and higher. We outline the principles behind our design and describe recent and planned enhancements.
