Recently, the area of study of spatial game continuously has extended, and researchers have especially presented a lot of works of coevolutionary mechanism. We have recognized coevolutionary mechanism as one of the factors for the promotion of cooperation like five rules by Nowak. However, those...

A risk efficient frontier for a pastoral farm indicates the optimal enterprise mix that allows the farmer to generate the highest income for a given level of financial risk. It is calculated by matching the available range of enterprises (sheep, beef cattle, deer, dairy, exotic forest and...

Agent-based simulation has become an important modeling approach in activity-travel analysis. Social activities account for a large amount of travel and have an important effect on activity-travel scheduling. Participants in joint activities usually have various options regarding location,...

This paper establishes a multi-agent system comprising a government agent, a gas operator agent, and an industrial and commercial users agent. The system simulates the dynamic change process of demands and running states in an UGPN (urban gas pipeline network) and explores the optimal TOU...

In order to analyse the possibilities of improving grid stability on island systems by local demand response mechanisms, a multi-agent simulation model is presented. To support the primary reserve, an under-frequency load shedding (UFLS) using refrigerator loads is modelled. The model represents...

This paper considers a simple model of an economy. The economy consists of agents. Each agent produces exactly one good. The good is sold on the market and the agent uses the resulting money to buy many other goods. All agents have the goal to maximize their own utility, which consists of a...

Land acquisition and ownership is an important part of modern agriculture in North America. Given the unique nature of farmland as a good, this paper develops a multi-agent simulation of farmland auction markets in a Canadian context. The model is used to generate data on land transactions...

This article reports on the calibration and analysis of a fully disaggregate (agent-based) transport simulation for the metropolitan area of Zurich. The agent-based simulation goes beyond traditional transport models in that it equilibrates not only route choice but all-day travel behavior,...
