Le dépôt de bronzes du site fluvial de La Motte à Agde (Hérault)
2007
Die Untersuchung der Flusssiedlung La Motte bei Agde (Hérault, Frankreich) im Jahre 2004 hat zur Ent- deckung eines bedeutenden, unberührten Depots von Bronzeobjekten geführt. Das Ensemble wurde noch nicht vollständig restauriert, doch erlauben die bereits untersuchten 330 Objekte eine vorläufige, zusam- menfassende Vorlage. Es finden sich vor allem Kleidungs- und Trachtelemente, durch die das reiche Zere- monialkleid einer Frau aus dem Languedoc der frühen Eisenzeit (8. oder erste Hälfte des 7. Jahrhunderts v.Chr.) rekonstruiert werden konnte. Die typologische Untersuchung zeigt, dass die Tracht aus einer Mischung von Einflüssen aus dem westlichen und östlichen Languedoc, der Prov…

A Bio-Inspired Cognitive Agent for Autonomous Urban Vehicles Routing Optimization
2017
Autonomous urban vehicle prototypes are expected to be efficient even in not explicitly planned circumstances and dynamic environments. The development of autonomous vehicles for urban driving needs real-time information from vehicles and road network to optimize traffic flows. In traffic agent-based models, each vehicle is an agent, while the road network is the environment. Cognitive agents are able to reason on the perceived data, to evaluate the information obtained by reasoning, and to learn and respond, preserving their self-sufficiency, independency, self-determination, and self-reliance. In this paper, a bio-inspired cognitive agent for autonomous urban vehicles routing optimization…
The origins of agriculture in Iberia: a computational model
2015
Here we discuss the importance of using the rich and growing database of high-precision, audited radiocarbon dates for high-resolution bottom-up modelling to focus on problems concerning the spread of the Neolithic in the Iberia. We also compare the spread of the Late Mesolithic (so-called Geometric) and the Early Neolithic using our modelling environment. Our results suggest that the source of radiocarbon data used to evaluate alternative hypotheses plays an important role in the results and open up new lines of research for the future.
A Full-Scale Agent-Based Model to Hypothetically Explore the Impact of Lockdown, Social Distancing, and Vaccination During the COVID-19 Pandemic in L…
2021
Background The COVID-19 outbreak, an event of global concern, has provided scientists the opportunity to use mathematical modeling to run simulations and test theories about the pandemic. Objective The aim of this study was to propose a full-scale individual-based model of the COVID-19 outbreak in Lombardy, Italy, to test various scenarios pertaining to the pandemic and achieve novel performance metrics. Methods The model was designed to simulate all 10 million inhabitants of Lombardy person by person via a simple agent-based approach using a commercial computer. In order to obtain performance data, a collision detection model was developed to enable cluster nodes in small cells that can b…
Agent-Based Model to Study and Quantify the Evolution Dynamics of Android Malware Infection
2014
[EN] In the last years the number of malware Apps that the users download to their devices has risen. In this paper, we propose an agentbased model to quantify the Android malware infection evolution, modeling the behavior of the users and the different markets where the users may download Apps. The model predicts the number of infected smartphones depending on the type of malware. Additionally, we will estimate the cost that the users should afford when the malware is in their devices. We will be able to analyze which part is more critical: the users, giving indiscriminate permissions to the Apps or not protecting their devices with antivirus software, or the Android platform, due to the v…
