Passive agents participate in team activities passively, that is, only upon requst, whereas active agents involve themselves voluntarily. Teams composed of active agents are generally believed to perform better than those with passive agents. In this paper, by using a computational simulation model we examine the effect of agent activeness on the efficiency of decision-making teams that access different amout of information. "Team-Soar" is a computational fraemwork that consists of a group of interconnected individual Al agents (i.e., Soar). A simulation experiment using Tearm-Soar was performed. Results of the simulation provide valuable insights on the roles of agent activeness. For example, the impact of having more active agents becomes more sigfniciant as the amout of information to process increases and when the team decision efficiency is important. Some of the results are counter-intultive and therefore provides an opportunity to understand the roles of the agnet activeness more deeply. For instance, the simulation results reveal that having more active agents did not always enhance team efficiency. Conclusively, the simulation experiment demonstrates how computational models contribute to the research of agents social characteristics.teristics.

Smoke is one of the most critical factor when escaping from the fire since it reduces visibility and interrupts finding emergency exit lights. Therefore, it is recommended that an evacuation simulation program should incorporate the smoke factor. In addition, it is suggested that the program should include not only the unilateral damage by the smoke but also the detour evacuation by risk communication. In this study, MAS (Multi Agent System)-based simulation program which incorporates the reduced walking speed by smoke and adopts the dispersion evacuation logic during escaping from the fire. To make comparison, a commercial evacuation program, Pathfinder was used. It was found that the simulation results of MAS (Multi Agent System)-based program is better than Pathfinder in terms of safe evacuation. It means that evacuation simulation need a additional evaluation categories that include not only quick evacuation time but also safe evacuee number.

The study of pedestrian behavior covers wide topics, including way finding, choice and decision make, as well as spatial cognition and environmental perception. To address the problem, simulation is now put forward as suitable technique and method for analyzing human spatial behavior. In the paper we present a development architecture for simulating tracking pedestrian in a distributed environment. We introduce and explore the potential of using mobile agent-enabled distributed implementation model as a tool for development and implementation of the simulation. Three kinds of mobile agents are designed for implementation of managing and querying data of pedestrian. Finally, simulation result of JR 10,000 passengers’ movement is developed and implemented as a case study.

Availability is one of the important factor for developing weapon system, because it indicates the mission capability and sustainable life cycle management of weapon system. Recently, as weapon system becomes more advanced and more complex, availability estimation becomes more important to reduce the life cycle cost of weapon system. Modeling and simulation(M&S) is useful method to describe the availability of complex weapon system applying operational environment and maintenance plan. Especially agent based model(ABM) has the strength to describe interactions between agents and environments in complex system. Therefore, this paper presents the availability estimation of weapon system using agent based model. The sample data of part list and reliability analysis is applied to build availability estimation model. User agent and mechanic agent are developed to illustrate the behavior of operation and maintenance using formal specification. Storage reliability is applied to describe failure of each parts. The experimental result shows that this model is quite useful to estimate availability of weapon system. This model may estimate more reasonable availability, if full scale data of weapon system and real field data of operation is provided.

기존의 국방 M&S 시스템에서의 에이전트는 계급과 역할에 따른 계층적인 모습을 갖추고 있지만, 상하위 에이전트는 동일한 속성을 보유함에 따라 서로 구별되는 특징이 없고, 에이전트의 의사결정 수준은 스크립트 기반 또는 유한 상태 기계 기반으로서 주변 환경의 변화에 기계적으로 반응하는 낮은 수준에 머무르고 있다. 이러한 기존 에이전트의 문제를 극복하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 HEAP (Hierarchical Encapsulation and Abstraction Principle) 기반의 지능 에이전트를 제안한다. HEAP 기반의 지능 에이전트는 엔진베이스 모델링 방법을 사용하여 엔진모델과 지식베이스 모델을 분리시킴으로써 모델링이 용이하고 시스템의 모듈화와 추상화를 보다 유연하게 할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 함정전투 시뮬레이션에 적용하여 타당성을 검증하고자 한다.

Agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) is a computational method for analyzing research targets through observations of agent-to-agent interactions, and can be applied to multidimensional policy experiments in various fields of social sciences to support policy and decision making. Recently, according to increasing complexity of society and the rapid growth of collected data, the need for high-speed processing is considered to be more important in this field. For this reason, in the ABMS research field, a scalable and large-scale computing infrastructure is becoming an essential element, and cloud computing has been considered a promising infrastructure of ABMS. This paper surveys the technology trends of ABMS tools, cloud computing-based modeling, and simulation studies, and forecasts the use of cloud-computing infrastructure for future modeling and simulation tools. Although fundamental studies are underway to apply and operate cloud computing in the areas of modeling and simulation, new and additional studies are required to devise an optimal cloud computing infrastructure to satisfy the needs of large-scale ABMS.

대부분의 함정 전투체계의 교전 시뮬레이션은 필수적으로 운용자(통제관 및 대항군)가 포함될 수밖에 없음으로 인해 시뮬레이션은 실시간 정도의 저속이며, 시뮬레이션 결과도 객관적인 평가가 어렵다. 이러한 문제를 다루기 위해 본 논문에서는 인간 대신 다중 에이전트 시스템을 이용하는 에이전트 기반의 함정전투 M&S 시스템을 제안한다. 에이전트기반 M&S 시스템은 인간의 개입을 배제하고 자율적 추론기능을 제공함으로써 전투체계의 효과도 분석 및 운용전술개발 등께 대한 효과적인 지원을 가능하게 해준다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위하여 첨단 M&S 프레임워크와 자율 에이전트 설계 원칙을 도입함으로써 인간 미개입형 M&S 시스템 설계 개념과 방법론을 제시하였고, 서해교전상의 함정전투 사례연구를 통해 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

Agent technology has been widely applied in today's electronic business, such as mobile agents, multi-agent information systems, etc. In particular, multi-agent systems have been applied as powerful simulation tools to study complex business networks composed of various self-interested trading firms and/or human beings. In this paper, we build an integrated model that consists of a multi-agent B2C market model and a B2B trade network model, and incorporate more reality than much of prior work. Then with this model, we carry out experimental studies on two different strategies that are common in electronic business - 'loyal' strategy (retailers try to build stable cooperation with suppiers to ensure material supply) and 'cost-saving' strategy (retailers try to reduce cost by choosing suppliers with lower wholesale price).

A system dynamics model is developed to investigate the applicability of the agent based modeling concept in the system dynamics model. The assumed problem is to forecast the size and structure of the organization with the developing market environment. The agent based modeling concept is applied to the organization part, and the other parts of the model such as market, facilities, etc. are developed with the traditional system dynamics technique. The simulation results show the agent based modeling part can be combined with the traditional system dynamics modeling with more precisions. However, the complexity increases and the simulation times are longer than those of the traditional method.

A multi-agent system designed to represent newly deregulated electricity markets in the USA is aimed at testing the capability of the multi-agent model to replicate the observed price behavior in the wholesale market and developing a smart business intelligence which quickly searches the optimum offer strategy responding to the change in market environments. Simulation results show that the optimum offer strategy is to withhold expensive generating units and submit relatively low offers when demand is low, regardless of firm size; the optimum offer strategy during a period of high demand is either to withhold capacity or speculate for a large firm, while it is to be a price taker a small firm: all in all, the offer pattern observed in the market is close to the optimum strategy. From the firm's perspective, the demand-side participation as well as the intense competition dramatically reduces the chance of high excess profit.
