A Software infrastructure for multi-agent geosimulation applications (2008)
Blecic, Ivan, Cecchini, Arnaldo, Trunfio, Giuseppe Andrea
In this paper we present characteristics, features and computational strategies used in MAGI (Multi-Agent Geosimulation Infrastructure) which are relevant for strongly geo-spatially oriented...
Towards a cooperative visual authoring environment for storytelling (2008)
Blecic, Ivan, Cecchini, Arnaldo, Trunfio, Giuseppe Andrea
In this paper we present a methodological approach and a client-server software authoring environment for cooperative visual creation of story-outlines. The methodological approach adopted for story...
Towards a multi-agent model for planning and design of exposition spaces (2008)
Blecic, Ivan, Cecchini, Arnaldo, Trunfio, Giuseppe Andrea, Zhou, Jian, Zang, Wei, Liu, Bing
In this paper we present a multi-agent model for supporting the planning, design and organisation of exposition spaces. The model and its related software implementation simulates the behaviour of...
Two complexities and a few models (2008)
Blecic, Ivan, Cecchini, Arnaldo, Trunfio, Giuseppe Andrea
The difficulty in dealing with urban systems’ complexity and the related difficulty to analyse and forecast is twofold: one kind of difficulty lies in the complexity of the system itself, and the...
Evaluating cellular automata models by evolutionary multiobjective calibration (2008)
Avolio, Maria Vittoria, D'Ambrosio, Donato, Di Gregorio, Salvatore, Lupiano, Valeria, Rongo, Rocco, Spataro, William, ...
This paper proposes a multi-objective approach for Cellular Automata (CA) calibration. The method exploits the available temporal sequences of spatial data in order to produce CAs which are...
Towards a visual graph-based story outline authoring (2008)
Blecic, Ivan, Cecchini, Arnaldo, Trunfio, Giuseppe Andrea
In this paper we present an authoring tool for collaborative visual creation of story outlines. A visual graph-based approach was adopted in order to allow story outlining of a wide range of types...
A Decision support tool coupling a causal model and a multi-objective genetic algorithm (2007)
Blecic, Ivan, Cecchini, Arnaldo, Trunfio, Giuseppe Andrea
A significant class of decision making problems consists of choosing actions, to be carried out simultaneously, in order to achieve a trade-off between different objectives. When such decisions...
A Collaborative and collective concept mapping tool (2007)
Blecic, Ivan, Cecchini, Arnaldo, Trunfio, Giuseppe Andrea
This paper presents the general philosophy, features and few aspects related to the implementation and underlying technologies of MaGIA, an Internet-based multi-user system designed for a collective...
Avolio, Maria Vittoria, D'Ambrosio, Donato, Di Gregorio, Salvatore, Rongo, Rocco, Spataro, William, Trunfio, Giuseppe Andrea
Forecasting through simulations the shape of lava invasions in a real topography represents a challenging problem, especially considering that the phenomenon usually evolves for a long time (e.g....
A Multiagent model for supporting tourism policy-making by market simulations (2007)
Cecchini, Arnaldo, Trunfio, Giuseppe Andrea
Sustainable tourism development at a destination requires an understanding of the many interrelated factors that influence risks and returns. For this reason, operators in tourism management and...
Simultaneous decision networks with multiple objectives as support for strategic planning (2006)
Blecic, Ivan, Cecchini, Arnaldo, Trunfio, Giuseppe Andrea
Strategic planning can be schematised as a decision making process where, given a general outline of the desirable future, the decision makers need to choose a set of actions that should coherently...
The increased availability of remotely sensed spatio-temporal data offers the chance to improve the reliability of an important class of Cellular Automata (CA) models used for the simulation of real...
Creating future scenarios for strategic territorial planning: methodologies, tools, examples (2005)
Blecic, Ivan, Cecchini, Arnaldo, Trunfio, Giuseppe Andrea
The accent on strategy in the territorial planning has been widely discussed in the literature in recent times. One of the topics that has attracted broad attention, the strategic environmental...
