High-fidelity Multi-agent Simulations for Social Systems

For realizing the rational and quantitative design of social systems, we have been developing intelligent multi-agent based simulations together with high-fidelity models of social systems.The one is MATES (Multi-Agents based Traffic and Environmental Simulator), and the other is a virtual nursing care process simulator based on a multi-agent model.In this talk, I first describe the objectives of the research and some key technologies, and then introduce their practical applications with verification and validation, i.e.Tramway extension problem in an actual middle sized-city, Okayama, Japan, and an excretion care process in an actual day-care facility for elderly persons.
