  2. 1. Modelling the Structural Dynamics of Business Networks : Two Agent-based Models of Supply Networks

    Author : Sara Shahin Moghadam; Frans Prenkert; Franziska Klügl; Magnus Hansson; Davide Secchi; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Business networks; dynamics; Agent-based modelling; structural change; responses; interactions; complex adaptive systems;

    Abstract : This thesis aims at describing and analysing the structural changes of business networks that emerge as a result of change triggers. Despite previous studies, our understanding of the evolution of the network structure and its influencing factors is still limited. READ MORE

  4. 2. Human Behaviour in Social-Ecological Systems : Insights from economic experiments and agent-based modelling

    Author : Caroline Schill; Therese Lindahl; Anne-Sophie Crépin; Johan Colding; Carl Folke; Juan Camilo Cárdenas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Human behaviour; Common-pool resources; Ecological complexity; Collective action; Sustainable resource use; Regime shifts; Thresholds; Uncertainty; Communication; Knowledge-sharing; Economic experiments; Laboratory and field experiments; Agent-based modelling; Complex adaptive systems; Social-ecological systems; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Abstract : Progress towards sustainability requires changes in our individual and collective behaviour. Yet, our fundamental understanding of behaviour in relation to environmental change remains severely limited. READ MORE

  5. 3. Improving the performance of distributed multi-agent based simulation

    Author : Dawit Mengistu; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; agent based simulation; MABS; distributed systems; application performance;

    Abstract : This research investigates approaches to improve the performance of multi-agent based simulation (MABS) applications executed in distributed computing environments. MABS is a type of micro-level simulation used to study dynamic systems consisting of interacting entities, and in some cases, the number of the simulated entities can be very large. READ MORE

  6. 4. Transport policy analysis using multi-agent-based simulation

    Author : Linda Ramstedt; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transportation; Transport chain; Multi-agent-based simulation; Transport policy; Logistics; Decisions;

    Abstract : This thesis explores how multi-agent-based simulation can be used for transport policy analysis. Transport policies are often used as a means to reach governmental goals, such as environmental targets to reduce the impact of transportation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Multi-Agent Based Simulations in the Grid Environment

    Author : Dawit Mengistu; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Grid computing; Multi-agent Based Simulation; Performance Modeling; Performance Prediction;

    Abstract : The computational Grid has become an important infrastructure as an execution environment for scientific applications that require large amount of computing resources. Applications which would otherwise be unmanageable or take a prohibitively longer execution time under previous computing paradigms can now be executed efficiently on the Grid within a reasonable time.
