Welcome to Agent-Directed Simulation (ADS) Site
Agent-directed Simulation consists of three distinct, yet related areas which can be grouped under two categories as follows:
Use of Simulation for Agents
Use of Agents for Simulation
Agent Simulation: simulation of agent systems.
Agent simulation is already used in several categories of application areas such as:
- Engineering applications: electrical engineering, irrigation systems, manufacturing systems, mechatronics, networks, robotics, software, as well as transportation/logistics;
- Management/economy applications: economy, e-commerce, and management;
- Social systems and human behaviour applications: social systems, psychology/human behaviour, physiology, negotiation, and organization theory;
- Environment applications: ecosystems, land use;
- Military applications.
Agent-supported Simulation: use of agents in a simulation study for at least one of the following purposes: (in a computer-aided simulation environment 吠ncluding simulation-based problem solving environments):
- to provide computer assistance for front-end and/or back-end interface functions;
- to process elements of a simulation study symbolically (for example, for consistency checks and built-in reliability); and
- to provide cognitive abilities to the elements of a simulation study, such as learning or understanding abilities.
Agent-based Simulation: use of agents for the generation of model behavior in a simulation study.
