Optimal COVID-19 quarantine and testing strategies
Nature Communications, 2021 Safely reducing the necessary duration of quarantine for COVID-19 could lessen the economic impacts of the pandemic. Here, the authors demonstrate that testing on exit from quarantine is more effective than testing on entry, and can enable quarantine to ...

Agent Based Models of Polymicrobial Biofilms and the Microbiome—A Review
Microorganisms, 2021 The human microbiome has been a focus of intense study in recent years. Most of the living organisms comprising the microbiome exist in the form of biofilms on mucosal surfaces lining our digestive, respiratory, and genito-urinary tracts.

Agent-based model of the impact of higher influenza vaccine efficacy on seasonal influenza burden
Vaccine: X, 2023 Introduction: Current influenza vaccines have limited effectiveness. COVID-19 vaccines using mRNA technology have demonstrated very high efficacy, suggesting that mRNA vaccines could be more effective for influenza. Several such influenza vaccines are in

Learning Computational Thinking Practices Through Agent-Based Modeling in an Informal Setting [PDF]
Journal of Research in Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2022 In this qualitative study, I investigated the form of interaction when learners co-constructed computational thinking practices in an informal setting. This study focuses on the roles of five youth, three adult mentors, and a facilitator during a summer ...

Agent based modeling of energy networks [PDF]
, 2014 Attempts to model any present or future power grid face a huge challenge because a power grid is a complex system, with feedback and multi-agent behaviors, integrated by generation, distribution, storage and consumption systems, using various control and

Agent-Based Pedestrian Modeling [PDF]
Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2001 When the focus of interest in geographical systems is at the very fine scale, at the level of streets and buildings for example, movement becomes central to simulations of how spatial activities are used and develop. Recent advances in computing power and the acquisition of fine scale digital data now mean that we are able to attempt to understand ...

Agent-Based Modeling of COVID-19 Transmission in Philippine Classrooms
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2022 Onsite classes in the Philippines have been prohibited since March 2020 due to the SARS-CoV-2 which causes the COVID-19. This forced millions of learners to adapt with new modes of instruction that may not be optimal for their learning. In this study, we

Desires, norms and constraints [PDF]
, 2004 This paper deals with modeling mental states of a rational agent, in particular states based on agent’s desires. It shows that the world the agent belongs to forces it to restrict its desires. More precisely, desires of a rational agent are restricted by

Special Issue “Multi-Agent Systems”: Editorial
Applied Sciences, 2020 Multi-agent systems (MAS) are built around the central notions of agents, interaction, and environment. Agents are autonomous computational entities able to pro-actively pursue goals, and re-actively adapt to environment change.
