Multi-Agent Modelling Notation (MAMN): A multi-layered graphical modelling notation for agent-based simulations (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nguyen, J., Powers, S., Urquhart, N., Farrenkopf, T., & Guckert, M. (2022). Multi-Agent Modelling Notation (MAMN): A multi-layered graphical modelling notation for agent-based simulations. In PRIMA 2022: Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems - 2

Cause-effect graphs have been applied in non agent-based simulations, where they are used to model chained causal relations between input parameters and system behaviour measured by appropriate indicators. This can be useful for the analysis and inte... Read More about Multi-Agent Modelling Notation (MAMN): A multi-layered graphical modelling notation for agent-based simulations.

An empirical evaluation of a novel domain-specific language – modelling vehicle routing problems with Athos (2022)
Journal Article
Hoffmann, B., Urquhart, N., Chalmers, K., & Guckert, M. (2022). An empirical evaluation of a novel domain-specific language – modelling vehicle routing problems with Athos. Empirical Software Engineering, 27(7), Article 180. https://doi.org/10.1007/s106

Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are a popular approach among software engineers who demand for a tailored development interface. A DSL-based approach allows to encapsulate the intricacies of the target platform in transformations that turn DSL model...

Modelling the Impact of Individual Preferences on Traffic Policies (2022)
Journal Article
Nguyen, J., Powers, S., Urquhart, N., Farrenkopf, T., & Guckert, M. (2022). Modelling the Impact of Individual Preferences on Traffic Policies. SN Computer Science, 3(5), Article 365. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42979-022-01253-3

Urban traffic is a system always prone to overload, often approaching breakdown during rush hour times. Well adjusted modifications of traffic policies, with appropriate interventions, promise potential improvements by inducing change in both individ...
