Please, put here your assignments. Do not forget to sign them. You can use ~~~~ (four tildas) for an automatic signature. Use Show preview in order to check the result before your final sumbition.

Please, strive to formulate your assignment carefully. We expect an adequate effort to formulate the assignment as it is your semestral paper. Do not forget that your main goal is a research paper. It means your simulation model must generate the results that are specific, measurable and verifiable. Think twice how you will develop your model, which entities you will use, draw a model diagram, consider what you will measure. No sooner than when you have a good idea about the model, submit your assignment. And of course, read How to deal with the simulation assignment.

Topics on gambling, cards, etc. are not welcome.

In order to avoid possible confusion, please, check if you have added approved in bold somewhere in our comment under your submission. If there is no approved, it means the assignment was not approved yet.

Criteria for evaluation of the simulation proposal

The proposal must contain:

  • What you will simulate
  • The goal of the simulation (what you analyze - i.e. not "to simulate balloon factory", but what problem should the simulation solve).
  • Who would actually use such simulation (example of such user) and how would it help him
  • What method and simulation environment you plan to use. Choose only from the development environments that we have used in the course.
  • What variables will be incorporated
  • What variables will be random
  • What exact data you will base values of your variables on
  • (In case of Monte Carlo) What exact data you will base your determination of probability distribution of your random variables on
  • What exact data you will base your formulas in the simulation (simulation behavior) on

If any of the above points are missing from the simulation proposal, the proposal is considered incomplete. Unless the proposal contains all of the above points it will not be evaluated at all (and therefore cannot be approved).

  1. Is it clear from the proposed assignment how the simulation will work?
  2. Does the simulation make sense?
  3. Is the simulation model complex enough to simulate credibly the real-world phenomenon that the simulation tries to simulate?
  4. Is the data used real and relevant for the real-world phenomenon that the simulation tries to simulate?
  5. Is the simulation feasible? (in given time by the course)

If the answer to any of the above points is no, you need to improve your proposal. Don't wait for us to tell you so - you're wasting your time.

Tutd00 - Aquatic ecosystem simulation

  • The simulation is inspired by the classic "predator and prey" model. The goal is to model the behavior of fish, plants and predators in the generated aquatic environment.
  • The simulation will be developed using the NetLogo - Agent based model
  • The following variables will be in the simulation:
    • The water temperature
    • Pollution level
    • Number of fish
    • Number of sharks
    • Number of plants
    • and also variables that depend on the basic ones: number of dead fish and sharks, number of plants eaten
  • The user has the option to set the number of fish, plants, sharks, water temperature and pollution level when starting the simulation.
  • This simulation allows the user to investigate how different parameter configurations affect ecosystem stability and dynamics and could be modified and used to model real water systems.
  • The rules: Cold water temperatures accelerate the rate of reproduction of predators, while warm water speeds up the rate of reproduction of fish.High water pollution slows down the reproduction of fish and sharks, but speeds up the growth of plants. The user can change settings during the simulation.
  • The data used in the simulation is based on real sources dedicated to the topic of aquatic systems (example: https://www.nalms.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/31-2-5.pdf), but will be implemented in a simplified form.

    • Delays (random)
    • isCollision
    • isDelay(random)
  • Sources: For this simulation, predominantly sources from Google Scholar would be used, or scientific articles found in the E-library of VSE.

Tata05 - Simulation of the Ocean Carbon Uptake and Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide

  • Problem definition: I want to simulate the process of the Life cycle of processing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and increasing the stored carbon dioxide on the ocean floor. This process influences ocean acidification and affects the entire climate. The ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere wherever air meets water. Regarding scientists oceans absorb 30% of our emissions, driven by a huge carbon pump.
  • Method: Agent-based simulation, NetLogo.
  • Variabels:
    • Solar Energy
    • Atmospheric CO2
    • Changes in temperature
    • Change in water acidity
    • CO2 dissolving
    • Carbon capture and storage
  • Resource: Information from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Nasa Global Climate, https://www.soest.hawaii.edu/oceanography/faculty/zeebe_files/Publications/ZeebeWolfEnclp07.pdf

Please provide us with the reference to literature with formulas you will base your simulation on. Without it, it is impossible to evaluate wheather the simulation will make sense. Oleg.Svatos (talk) 17:13, 19 December 2023 (CET)

akee00== Urban Traffic flow and Pollution Control

  • Primary objective: To analyze the impact of different traffic management strategies on urban traffic flow and air pollution levels.
  • Problem to solve: Determining the most effective traffic management strategy that minimizes traffic congestion and reduces air pollution in an urban environment.
  • Context: With growing urban populations, traffic congestion and pollution have become critical issues. This simulation aims to explore how various traffic control measures can alleviate these problems.
  • Method and Simulation Environment:
    • Agent based Modelling
    • Simulation Tool: Netlogo.
  • Environment Setup: A simulated urban area with a grid of streets, traffic signals, vehicles, and pollution indicators.
  • Variables and Data:
  • Random variables:
    • Vehicle breakdowns,
    • Driver behaviour: route choice and speed variability
    • Traffic incidents
    • Weather conditions
    • Vehicle emission rates.
  • Incorporated (deterministic) variables:
    • Vehicle agents: count, types
    • Traffic signal agents: signal timing, adaptive signals
    • Pollution measurement: Baseline emission levels, Air quality index
    • Traffic Management Strategies
    • Road layout.
  • Data source:
    • Traffic and transportation data for Prague from praha.eu
  • Expected outcome: The simulation should reveal the most effective traffic management strategies for reducing congestion and pollution. By comparing these results with real-world data, urban planners can make informed decisions to improve traffic flow and air quality in cities.
This is generally a good topic, however the scope you suggest is really large and you would be hardly able to deliver results. Limit the model reasonably, e.g. choose just a limited area or limit the model different way. Tomáš (talk) 20:04, 19 December 2023 (CET)
