Research
Main research interests- Multiagent-based Simulation (MABS)
- Multilevel Simulation: How to dynamically adapt the complexity of a simulation, mainly according to the volume of available computational ressources.
- Simulation in virtual urban environment:
- How to give life to virtual environments: Virtual Live Simulation
- Pedestrians simulation
- Traffic simulations
- Holonic Multi-Agent Systems (HMAS): The term holon was coined by the hungarian philosopher Arthur Koestler in 1967. In multiagent systems, the vision of holons is much closer to the one that mas researchers have of Recursive or Composed agents. A holon constitutes a way to gather local and global, individual and collective points of view. A holon is thus a self-similar structure composed of holons as sub-structures and the hierarchical structure composed of holons is called a holarchy. A holon can be seen, depending on the level of observation, either as an autonomous “atomic” entity or as an organization of holons (this is often called the Janus effect).
- Agent-oriented Software engineering (AOSE): How to exploit HMAS for the analysis and design of Complex Systems.
- Software Development Process: How to develop its own software development process fitting our specific needs/requirements
- Complex Hierarchical Systems
- Swarm Systems
