A mobile agent is an autonomous software agent capable of moving from one computer to another while performing its tasks. We view the agent as a discrete event system in the view of its computation and communication. This paper presents a methodology far modeling and simulation of such a mobile agent system as a discrete event system. The methodology is based on the Mobile Discrete Event System Specification (MDEVS) formalism and the associated simulation environment AgentSim which are previously developed by the authors. Within the methodology an atomic model represents dynamics of a mobile agent; a coupled model is modeled as mobile agent servers for representation of structural changes between atomic agents. Being based on the object-oriented environment the modeling methodology exploits inheritance of basic classes AtomicModel and CoupledModel provided by AgentSim.

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.

본 연구는 근접전투 손실 모델링 분야에서 좀 더 개선된 워게임 모델링 방법론을 제시한다. 지금까지 군사 운영분석가들은 랜체스터형 미분 방정식과 같은 방정식 기반 모델링 방법론을 사용해서 전투손실 평가를 하고 있다. 방정식 기반 모델링 방법론은 워게임 모의결과를 분석 및 평가하기는 용이하나 동적인 전장환경을 모의하기에는 다수의 제한사항을 포함하고 있다. 이러한 방정식 기반 모델링 방법론의 결점을 극복하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 에이전트 기반 모델링 방법론을 제시한다. 에이전트 기반 모델링 방법론은 전투손실계수 대신에 전투손실 행위에 기반하여 근접전투를 모델링한다. 2가지 모델링 방법론에 의해서 유사한 근접전투 상황 하에서 모델링 된 자료를 모의하여 비교분석 및 평가한다.

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.

최근 M&S 및 DM&S (Defense M&S) 환경의 복잡성이 높아짐에 따라 인간 등의 자율세력을 표현하기 위한 기술로 CGF/SAF (Computer Generated Force/Semi-Automated Force)가 주목 받고 있다. 그러나 기존의 OneSAF 과 같은 선진국의 CGF/SAF 기반 DM&S 환경은 DEVS 프레임워크 중심의 국내 DM&S 시스템과 유기적 연동이 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 DEVS M&S환경을 지원하는 에이전트 기반의 SAF 설계 방법론 및 모델링 도구를 제안하였다. 제안한 SAF 모델링 도구는 에이전트 모델링 GUI와 SAF 모델링 GUI로 나누어진다. 에이전트 모델링 환경은 간단한 UI를 활용한 규칙 입력만으로 에이전트를 생성할 수 있다. 또한 에이전트 단위테스트 환경을 추가하여 UI 기반의 에이전트 모델의 검증이 가능하다. SAF 모델을 생성하기 위한 환경으로 개개의 에이전트 모델들의 구조적 결합을 정의할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구의 모델링 도구 및 방법론을 통해 DM&S 연구자 및 개발자들이 DEVS 기반의 DM&S 및 SAF 시스템을 구축하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The object of this research is to develop a simulation system for earthmoving operations in consideration of the impact of congestion in-between equipment and existing traffic flow around the site. The congestion in-between equipment and traffic flow affect work productivity. The conventional discrete event simulation, however, has limitations in simulating the flow of construction equipment. To consider the impact of congestion in-between equipment and existing traffic flow, in this paper, a multi-agent based simulation model that can realize characteristics of truck behavior more accurately to consider the impact of congestion was proposed. In this simulation model, multiple agents can identify environmental changes and adapt themselves to the new environment. This modeling approach is a better choice for this problem since it describes behavioral characteristics of each agent by sensing changes in dynamic surroundings. This study suggests a detailed system design of the multi-agent based simulation system.

As construction projects have been getting larger and more complex, a single individual or organization cannot have complete knowledge or the abilities to handle all matters. Collaborative practices among heterogeneous individuals, which are temporarily congregated to carry out a project, are required in order to accomplish project objectives. These organizational knowledge creation processes of project teams should be understood from the active and dynamic viewpoint of how they create information and knowledge rather than from the passive and static input-process-output sequence. To this end, agent-based modeling and simulation which is built from the ground-up perspective can provide the most appropriate way to systematically investigate them. In this paper, agent-based modeling and simulation as a research method and a medium for representing theory is introduced. To illustrate, an agent-based simulation of the evolution of collaboration in large-scale project teams from a game theory and social network perspective is presented.

This study presents a noble scheme for distributed and parallel simulations with optimized agent placement for simulation instances. The traditional parallel simulation has some limitations in that it does not provide sufficient performance even though using multiple resources. The main reason for this discrepancy is that supporting parallelism inevitably requires additional costs in addition to the base simulation cost. We present a comprehensive study of parallel simulation architectures, execution flows, and characteristics. Then, we identify critical challenges for optimizing large simulations for parallel instances. Based on our cost-benefit analysis, we propose a novel approach to overcome the performance constraints of agent-based parallel simulations. We also propose a solution for eliminating the synchronizing cost among local instances. Our method ensures balanced performance through optimal deployment of agents to local instances and an adaptive agent placement scheme according to the simulation load. Additionally, our empirical evaluation reveals that the proposed model achieves better performance than conventional methods under several conditions.

Accidents on offshore oil and gas platforms (OOGPs) usually cause serious fatalities and financial losses considering demanding environment platforms locate and complex topsides structure platforms own. Evacuation planning on platforms is usually challenging. The computational tool is a good choice to plan evacuation by emergency simulation. However, the complex structure of platforms and varied evacuation behaviors usually weaken the advantages of computational simulation. Therefore, this study developed a simulation model for OOGPs to evaluate different evacuation plans to improve evacuation performance by integrating building information modeling (BIM) and agent-based model (ABM). The developed model consists of four parts: evacuation model input, simulation environment modeling, agent definition, and simulation and comparison. Necessary platform information is extracted from BIM and then used to model simulation environment by integrating matrix model and network model. During agent definition, in addition to basic characteristics, environment sensing and dynamic escape path planning functions are also developed to improve simulation performance. An example OOGP BIM topsides with different emergent scenarios is used to illustrate the developed model. The results showed that the developed model can well simulate evacuation on OOGPs and improve evacuation performance. The developed model was also suggested to be applied to other industries such as the architecture, engineering, and construction industry.
