Definition Of

The scope of the Technical Forum Group (TFG) on Agents in Bioinformatics (BIOAGENTS) was to inspire collaboration between the agent and bioinformatics communities with the aim of creating an opportunity to propose a different (agent-based) approach to the development of computational frameworks both for data analysis in bioinformatics and for system modelling in computational biology. During the day, the participants examined the future of research on agents in bioinformatics primarily through 12 invited talks selected to cover the most relevant topics. From the discussions, it became clear that there are many perspectives to the field, ranging from bio-conceptual languages for agent-based simulation, to the definition of bio-ontology-based declarative languages for use by information agents, and to the use of Grid agents, each of which requires further exploration. The interactions between participants encouraged the development of applications that describe a way of creating agent-based simulation models of biological systems, starting from an hypothesis and inferring new knowledge (or relations) by mining and analysing the huge amount of public biological data. In this report we summarize and reflect on the presentations and discussions.

Scoping the Future with Theory-Driven Models—Where’s the Uncertainty?: Commentary on Lustick and Tetlock 2021

Lustick and Tetlock outline an intellectually ambitious approach to scoping the future. They are particularly interested in sectors of national security and foreign policy decision-making that require anticipatory strategic intelligence that is difficult to produce because there is insufficient data, even if relevant theories are available. They propose that in these theory-rich/data-impoverished cases, there can be great value in developing agent-based simulation models that incorporate probabilistic rules that cohere with postulates of the theory or theories that are brought to bear on the intelligence challenge. This is the gist of the “simulation manifesto.” The aim of this commentary is to focus on the assessment and representation of key uncertainties in such models and I outline several ways in which uncertainty may arise in the process of simulation model construction.

Object Relationship

The use of agent-based simulation models is growing and attracted a lot of attention recently both for researchers and business management. Agent-Object Relationship (AOR) is an agent-based simulation paradigm that uses reaction rules to model agents’ behavior. The goal of this chapter, besides exemplifying the AOR concepts by means of a use case, is to investigate the use of business process modeling notation (BPMN) to model the AOR simulation process. Moreover it discusses aspects of a distributed architecture for an AOR simulation system. The chapter concludes with the fact that BPMN is well suited to model the AOR simulation process.
