Agent-based Virtual Society Polygon for Simulation and Evaluation in Massive Mobile Services

Publication date: 2014 Source:IERI Procedia, Volume 10 Author(s): Daniil V. Voloshin , Kseniia A. Puzyreva , Vladislav A. Karbovskii Since there are phenomena that are too perplex to be observed through using traditional techniques of scientific investigation, there are tools allowing reconstructing them in a simplified form. Agent-Based modeling has established itself as one of these tools. Though the major analytical principle remains the same – decomposition of the complex object into primitive particles, models themselves are fluctuating from the simple ones (e.g. spatial segregation models) to those able to propose reproduction of crowds, transport/pedestrian flows and other interactions by implementing sophisticated intelligent agent architectures. However, the utilization of agent-based modeling is not limited to satisfying sole scientific interest, but may be used for the resolution of applied issues as well. A polygon focused on performing both investigative and practical tasks has been introduced to simulate collective response to the changing environmental conditions (e.g. in the course of the natural disaster). The model originally designed to be incorporated into the mobile service computational infrastructure to constitute a massive mobile service for decision-making support is described throughout the paper. The potential use of the obtained simulation results in the analysis of emerging issues under conditions of social and infrastructural disorder is...
