  3. 12. The User Needs Of Agent-Based Modelling Experts : What Information Architecture reveals about ABM frameworks

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för teknik och samhälle (TS)

    Author : Bertilla Fabris; [2023]
    Keywords : Agent-based Modelling; ABM; Usability; Information Architecture; Computer and Information Science; ABSS; Agent-based Social Simulation; Agent Based Modelling; Agent-Based Modeling; Agent Based Modeling;

    Abstract : Present-day Agent Based Modelling is used to simulate complex systems in which agents are explicitly heterogeneous. Researchers within the field of ABM have a set of tools at their disposal, yet little is known about the usability and learnability of these systems. READ MORE

  4. 13. Examining the Influence of Disfluencies on Reaction Time : An Exploratory Study Investigating the Impact of Entropy in Language

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Alexander Jansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Linguistics; Disfluency; Cognitive Science; Reaction Time; Hyponomy; Attention; Entropy;

    Abstract : The current study aimed to investigate the effects of disfluencies, specifically filled pauses (FP) and unfilled pauses (UP), on reaction time (RT) to target words and hyponyms of target hypernyms(targets = target words + hyponyms of target hypernyms). Two experiments were conducted, withthe first experiment examining the impact of disfluencies on RTs to target words in utterances, whilethe second experiment explored their effect on hyponyms of target hypernyms.

  6. 15. A spatial data infrastructure based conceptual model for an efficient public transport system

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

    Author : Franka Grubisic; [2023]
    Keywords : public transport; optimization; Spatial Data Infrastructure; digitalization; conceptual model; integrated approach.;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the pressing need for an efficient public transport system in response to increasing urban population and rising fossil fuel costs. The research aims to satisfy that need by answering the research question guiding this study is: "How can developing an SDI-based conceptual model, leveraging cloud computing, optimize public transport by integrating multiple travel data sources and overcoming data fragmentation and interoperability challenges?".
