SPEAKER: Charles Macal, Ph.D., P.E. Director, Center for Complex Adaptive Agent Systems Simulation (CAS2) Decision & Information Sciences Division, Bldg. 900 Argonne National Laboratory Argonne, IL 60439 USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] TITLE: Recent Applications of Agent-Based Modeling and Next Directions for RePast TIME: Wed August 23, 1p LOCATION: 624 Agua Fria Conference Room Lunch will be available for purchase ABSTRACT: In this presentation I will discuss how my colleagues and I are using agent-based modeling in a variety of application areas. The first application describes recently completed work on the impact of deregulation of the electric power market in Illinois, scheduled for January 1, 2007, on spatial electricity prices and the possibilities for agents to establish market power. The second application is completed work on the use of multi-scale agent-based modeling to model the chemotactic behavior of bacteria (translating sensed chemicals into motion) based solely on the underlying signal transduction networks (networks of chemical reactions) that occur inside the bacteria. The third part of the presentation describes ongoing work at various stages of progress in several areas including modeling the transition to the hydrogen infrastructure, modeling the energy markets, a theoretical model of supply chains, a theoretical model of occupational dynamics and the derivation from the underlying social science theories. The presentation concludes by mentioning current work on the Repast agent-based modeling toolkit and the new releases planned for Repast Simphony. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
