Abstract

Critical concerns on both the national and international levels are energy production, supply, and demand. Understanding cascading power failures and power transmission networks are two particular areas of special interest to the power systems modeling research community. In this paper we discuss the coupling of a probabilistic C++ model of cascading failures and a dynamic power transmission C++ model using utility agents. The REPAST and SWIG software is used to host the utility agent source code as well as allowing for dynamically altering agent function parameters during model execution, visualizing model status and output data in real time, and enabling agent interchangeability with existing agent libraries.

Multiagent-based middleware for the agents' behavior simulation
IWANN'11: Proceedings of the 11th international conference on Artificial neural networks conference on Advances in computational intelligence - Volume Part II

Nowadays, simulation is used for several purposes ranging from work flow to system's procedures representation. The main goal of this work is the design and development of a middleware to communicate the current technology in charge of the development ...

When modeling and simulating agent communities, one is usually interested in the macro effects that result at the system level from the interaction of individuals. However, when developing a scenario, designers need to specify the individual agents' ...
Replicating complex agent based models, a formidable task

Promoting replication of models is unarguably a positive step for agent based modelling, as replication promotes rigorous testing. Model replication remains rare, yet is vital to assessing the repeatability of existing agent based models. Notably, more ...
