The agent computing paradigm is rapidly emerging as one of the powerful technologies for
the development of large-scale distributed systems to deal with the uncertainty in a dynamic …

In the last few years, the number of papers devoted to applications of agent-based
technologies to traffic and transportation engineering has grown enormously. Thus, it seems …

The term computer simulation is related to the usage of a computational model in order to
improve the understanding of a system's behavior and/or to evaluate strategies for its …

The increasing demand for mobility in our society poses various challenges to traffic
engineering, computer science in general, and artificial intelligence and multiagent systems …

This article gives an introduction to agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS). After a
general discussion about modeling and simulation, we address the basic concept of ABMS …

Modelling and simulation have long been dominated by equation-based approaches, until
the recent advent of agent-based approaches. To curb the resulting complexity of models …

Innovative control strategies are needed to cope with the increasing urban traffic chaos. In
most cases, the currently used strategies are based on a central traffic-responsive control …

Information is a key commodity in many socio-economic systems like stock markets or traffic
systems. In this paper the influence of dynamic information on the stability of traffic patterns …

Since advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) have been introduced, their potential
benefits as well as their drawbacks have been discussed controversially. This will continue …

Abstract The European Commission's eEurope initiative aims to bring every citizen, home,
school, business and administration online to create a digitally literate Europe. The value …
