A Heuristic Combinatorial Optimisation Approach To Synthesising A Population For Agent-Based Modelling Purposes, Nam N. Huynh, Johan Barthelemy, Pascal Perez
A Heuristic Combinatorial Optimisation Approach To Synthesising A Population For Agent-Based Modelling Purposes, Nam N. Huynh, Johan Barthelemy, Pascal Perez
SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers
This paper presents an algorithm that follows the sample-free approach to synthesise a population for agent based modelling purposes. This algorithm is among the very few in the literature that do not rely on a sample survey data to construct a synthetic population, and thus enjoy a potentially wider applications where such survey data is not available or inaccessible. Different to existing sample-free algorithms, the population synthesis presented in this paper applies the heuristics to part of the allocation of synthetic individuals into synthetic households. As a result the iterative process allocating individuals into households, which normally is the most …
Regional Planning And Policy Analysis In Australia Through Integrated Economic Modelling, Ashkan Masouman, Charles Harvie, Pascal Perez
Regional Planning And Policy Analysis In Australia Through Integrated Economic Modelling, Ashkan Masouman, Charles Harvie, Pascal Perez
SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers
Several attempts have been proposed in the literature to relax the restrictive assumptions of a standalone input-output model. Particularly, endogenisation of the household sector, which exhibits the highest constant returns to scale, has been continuously recognised as a key objective of such attempts. This objective increases in importance as we move from national to regional economies. Most of the studies in the literature collapse the intermediate demand information into a solo composite variable. The intermediate demand information serves as a priori data, which represents the inter-sectoral1 relationships within a regional economy. In this paper, estimation of sectoral employment by embedding …

Strategic regional plans aim to achieve aspirational objectives such as vibrant communities,affordable transport, productive economy and protected natural environments. But planners often lack decision support tools capable of tracking complex dynamic interactions between these various components. Many current regional planning models rely on feed-forward trend analyses. These trends are based on demographic or economic assumptions that lock-in regional growth into a unique pathway. The weaker the initial assumption is, the less plausible the evolution of other components of the regional development. In fact, useful regional planning models need to reproduce the co-evolution of land use, transport, economic and demographic dynamics. …

Maintaining a care pathway within a hospital to provide complex care to patients is associated with challenges related to variations from the pathway. This occurs due to ineffective decision-making processes, unclear process steps, the interactions, conflicting performance measures for speciality units, and the availability of resources. These variations from the care pathway or standard care delivery processes lead to longer patient waiting times and lower patient throughput. Traditional approaches to improve the pathway focus primarily on reducing variations within the care pathway such as bottlenecks or throughput within the pathway rather than examining variations from the care pathway. In this …
Modelling The Rejection Of N-Nitrosamines By A Spiral-Wound Reverse Osmosis System: Mathematical Model Development And Validation, Takahiro Fujioka, Stuart J. Khan, James A. Mcdonald, Annalie Roux, Yvan Poussade, Jorg E. Drewes, Long D. Nghiem

SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers
A mathematical model was developed based on the irreversible thermodynamic principle and hydro- dynamic calculation to predict the rejection of N-nitrosamines by spiral-wound reverse osmosis (RO) membrane systems. The developed model is able to accurately describe the rejection of N-nitrosamines under a range of permeate flux and system recovery conditions. The modelled N-nitrosamine rejections were in good agreement with values obtained experimentally using a pilot-scale RO filtration system. Simulation from the model revealed that an increase in permeate flux from10 to 30L/m2h led to an increase in the rejection of low molecular weight N-nitrosamines such as N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) (from31% to …

Modelling and analysis of large systems of infrastructure systems carries with it a number of challenges, in particular around the volume of data and the requisite complexity (and thus computing resources required) of models. In this paper we present an integrated land use–transportation model of a region in Sydney, and detail how we integrated an agent-based model of location and transport choice with a traffic micro-simulator. We also discuss both some novel architectures for scalability of modelling as well as for fusion and relevant visualisation of large data sets. We have a particular focus on geospatial infrastructure data visualisation.
A Semi-Deterministic Approach For Modelling Of Urban Travel Demand, Nam N. Huynh, Nagesh Shukla, Albert Munoz Aneiros, Vu Lam Cao, Pascal Perez

This paper presents a methodology to construct travel related activity schedules for individuals in a synthetic population. The resulting list of activity schedules are designed as an input into a micro-simulator for urban transport dynamics analysis. The methodology involves two main steps. The first step generates a synthetic population based on census data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The second step assigns individuals in the synthetic population activity schedules using Household Travel Survey (HTS) data related to the geographical area of interest (in this case, the Sydney Greater Metropolitan area). Each individual is assigned an ordered set …

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder that leads to a progressive decline in a person’s memory and ability to communicate and carry out daily activities. The brain pathology in AD is characterized by extensive neuronal loss, particularly of cholinergic neurons, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles composed of the tau protein (NFTs) and extracellular deposition of plaques composed of β-amyloid (Aβ), a cleavage product of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). These two insoluble protein aggregates are accompanied by a chronic inflammatory response and extensive oxidative damage. Whereas dys-regulation of APP expression or processing appears to be important for the familial, …
A Comparison Of Spatially Explicit And Classic Regression Modelling Of Live Coral Cover Using Hyperspectral Remote-Sensing Data In The Al Wajh Lagoon, Red Sea, S Hamylton
Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)
Live coral is a key component of the Al Wajh marine reserve in the Red Sea. The management of this reserve is dependent on a sound understanding of the existing spatial distribution of live coral cover and the environmental factors influencing live coral at the landscape scale. This study uses remote-sensing techniques to develop ordinary least squares and spatially lagged autoregressive explanatory models of the distribution of live coral cover inside the Al Wajh lagoon, Saudi Arabia. Live coral was modelled as a response to environmental controls such as water depth, the concentration of suspended sediment in the water column …

Spatially explicit ecological modelling was used to predict the distribution of 4 benthic components (live coral, carbonate sand, macroalgae and dead coral) inside the Aldabra lagoon, southern Seychelles, western Indian Ocean. Both classic ordinary least-squares and spatial autoregression techniques were carried out on a field data set of 774 spatially referenced records and 3 satellite remote sensing images to define an empirical relationship between local environmental conditions (water depth and water level variation) and benthic cover. This relationship was then used to generate a synoptic model of the spatial cover and distribution of each benthic component at the landscape (i.e. …

Modelling Carbon Nanostructures For Filtering And Adsorbing Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Thien Tran-Duc, Ngamta Thamwattana
Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)
The discovery of carbon nanostructures, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, has led to the creation of many novel nano-devices. In this paper, we consider an environmental application of carbon nanostructures for filtering and adsorbing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which are environmental pollutants. We mathematically investigate the adsorption of PAHs onto a graphene sheet and determine the underlying mechanisms of suction of PAHs into a carbon nanotube. We adopt a continuum approach together with the semi-empirical Lennard-Jones potential to determine van der Waals interaction forces and energies. Results obtained here for certain PAHs are well in agreement with existing experimental …

Performing simulations with simple models is a key activity in the recovery of information about the mechanisms which underlie the observed dynamics of biological processes, such as the posi- tioning of the hairs (trichomes) on the leaves of plants. The discovery of a robust representative model is a highly non-trivial process. Without appropriate constraints to regularize the choice of a model, the non-uniqueness of possibilities is vast. As acknowledged by Young (1983) in his modelling of pea leaf development, the degree of non-uniqueness can be reduced by constraining the model to reproduce the patterns observed in mutants as well as …

Development of complex systems often requires building a large number of models with many interconnections and dependencies among them. The success of a project can be compromised by cognitive overload or limits of developers, who might miss relationships between elements of the models. Developing Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) is a typical example of where this may occur. Despite of its potential, this technology has not yet been widely adopted by industry due to its complexity and frequent errors in modelling activities. These errors typically propagate to later phases of the MAS development lifecycle, becoming costlier to fix and then lowering the …

This paper considers the self-heating process occurring in a compost pile using one- and two-dimensional spatially-dependent models and incorporating terms that account for self-heating due to both biological and oxidative mechanisms. Biological heat generation is known to be present in most industrial processes handling large volumes of bulk organic materials. The heat release rate due to biological activity is modelled by a function which is, at sufficiently low temperatures, a monotonically increasing function of temperature and, at higher temperatures, a monotonically decreasing function of temperature. This functionality represents the fact that microorganisms die or become dormant at high temperatures. The …
Modelling Interaction Of Atoms And Ions With Graphene, James M. Hill, Yue Chan
Modelling Interaction Of Atoms And Ions With Graphene, James M. Hill, Yue Chan
Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)
In this Letter, the authors inve´stigate the interaction of various atoms/ions with a graphene sheet and two parallel graphene sheets using the continuous approximation and the 6–12 Lennard-Jones potential. The authors assume that the carbon atoms are smeared across the surface of the graphene sheet so that the total interaction between the single atom/ion and the graphene sheet can be approximated by a surface integration over the graphene sheet. They determine the equilibrium position for the atom/ion on the surface of the graphene sheet and the minimum intermolecular spacing between two graphene sheets. This minimum spacing is by symmetry twice …

The undergraduate Engineering schools in Australia are required to embed and assess the Competency Standards defined by the Engineers Australia in their curriculum. At the same time, embedding graduate attributes in the curriculum has become an important element in the quality assurance processes of universities. The embedding and mapping are only the first step in a long term process. The mapping should be validated empirically and reviewed in a repeating cycle towards an effective and optimal curriculum. This will require a rigorous action learning process for creating and cyclic validation of a living curriculum. The conceptual development and early stages …

Putting The Architecting Back Into Software Architecture With Systems Thinking Agent-Based Modelling, Trevor Harrison, Allan Peter Campbell, Thong Nguyen
SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers
This paper details exploratory research which treats architecting as a system. This human architecting system has a structure composed of decisions, interdependencies amongst decisions, decision making, decision makers and the decision-making environment. Agent-based modelling is used to model the architecting system, and simulation is used to visualise system behaviour over time. The goal is to map legitimate / optimal speed of architectural decision-making to an architecting system behaviour pattern. Knowing the appropriate behaviour pattern of early architecture evolution will provide a mechanism for fine-grained progress tracking of architectural design. Divergence from this behaviour pattern should provide early warning signs of …

Complex adaptive systems typically contain multiple, heterogeneous agents, with non-trivial interactions. They tend to produce emergent (larger-scale) phenomena. Agent-based modelling allows one to read- ily capture the behaviour of a group of heterogeneous agents (such as people, animals, et cetera), with diverse behaviour and important in- teractions, so it is a natural t to modelling complex systems. Many complex systems (and agent-based models thereof) can be thought of as containing networks, either explicitly or implicitly. Therefore for complex systems research it is important to have a good understand- ing of network analysis techniques. This chapter is aimed at beginners to …

To a significant extent rural Australia is transforming into multifunctional landscapes. Amenity migration (i.e. movement of people from metropolitan to rural settings) is a major driving force of this transition in many areas. However, the effects of amenity migration on the receiving landscapes are not yet fully understood. Agent-based land use modelling helps unravel the complex spatio-temporal relationships that affect landscape response to change from amenity migration. A land subdivision module is essential for a complete agent-based land use model developed for these landscapes because the land sold to in-migrants are lots that are subdivided from much larger tracts. In …

This study explores methods of characterising experimental and modelling data to see if trace gas measurements at the Cape Point GAW station could improve our understanding of sources from the continent. Selection criteria have been defined which make it possible to divide the samples into categories with predominant transport to Cape Point from one of four source regions: City (greater Cape Town); close rural (within about 150 km of Cape Point); distant rural (from 150 to about 500 km) and very distant rural covering the rest of southern Africa. For species with fairly uniform source such as radon or CO, …

This paper presents the linearised small-signal dynamic modelling of hydroelectric turbine-generator (TG) unit with CIGRE first high-voltage direct current (HVDC) benchmark system in the synchronously rotating D-Q reference frame for small-signal stability analysis. The interaction behaviour between the hydroelectric unit and the dynamics and control of HVDC system is investigated utilising eigen-analysis,participation factor analysis and by conducting sensitivity studies. The computation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors for small signal stability analysis provides an invaluable insight onto the power system dynamic behaviour by characterising the damping and frequency of the system oscillatory modes. Theconsequences of different operating conditions, such as active and …

The ability to store hydrogen in a highly dense state within absorbents via the mechanism of adsorption has become a critical step in order to make a hydrogen powered automobile a practical reality. Absorbents are composed of nano-scale cavities (or pores) designed in such a way that hydrogen will adsorb onto the internal surface and thus be stored densely and safely enough for transport at ambient conditions. This work investigates the effect of the geometry of the cavity shape by applying a new mathematical model for predicting gas uptake, which is based on calculating the van der Waals' interactions for …

The analysis of vulnerabilities in large complex spaces is fundamentally problematic. The lack of capacity to generate a threat assessment merely exacerbates this problem. Lacking as well, in current literature is a developed methodology. To overcome this problem, we propose an approach using multi-agent modelling, which is also melded with three dimensional (3D) tactical understandings. Our approach builds on a microsimulation decision support tool, which was developed for a behavioural simulation of CBRN events. Microsimulation is based on the individual; who as an individual has a number of attributes, and which are stochastic (when repeated within an attribute). This approach …

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)
A hybrid model incorporating process and system modelling characteristics has been developed and applied to the evolution of a theoretical estuary with a small lake basin, partially enclosed by a barrier with an entrance open to the sea. The one-dimensional model is capable of modelling changes in sedimentation both spatially and temporally and hence, tracks changes in crosssection dimensions along the estuary. The model structure is a series of linked modules to solve the hydrodynamics, the sediment transport equation and a distribution of the sediment to bed and bank. An evolution simulation was conducted for a generic coastal lagoon over …

Power system performance is affected by dynamic characteristics of hydraulic governor-turbines during and following any disturbance, such as occurrence of a fault, loss of a transmission line or a rapid change of load. Accurate modelling of hydraulic governor-turbines is essential to characterise and diagnose the system response during an emergency. In this article, both detailed and simplified hydraulic systems governed by proportional-integral-derivative and proportional-integral controllers are modelled. This article examines their transient responses to disturbances through simulation in Matlab/Simulink. The article also investigates the dynamic performance of an isolated hydraulic system through evaluating stability margins, eigenvalues, root loci and frequency …

A new modelling and classification approach for human gait is proposed. Body movements are obtained using a sensor suit recording inertial signals that are subsequently modelled on a humanoid frame with 23 degrees of freedom (DOF). Measured signals include position, velocity, acceleration, orientation, angular velocity and angular acceleration. The identification and modelling method segments the stream of non–linear movement data on the basis of the features extracted from the sensor signals. A model is then created for the movement of every individual. This model is used as a dynamic finger print for that specific individual. In the future stages of …

Geometric modeling and haptic rendering of textile has attracted significant interest over the last decade. A haptic representation is created by adding the physical properties of an object to its geometric configuration. While research has been conducted into geometric modeling of fabric, current systems require time-consuming manual recognition of textile specifications and data entry. The development of a generic approach for construction of the 3D geometric model of a woven textile is pursued in this work. The geometric model would be superimposed by a haptic model in the future work. The focus at this stage is on hand-woven textile artifacts …

Modelling of human motion through a discrete sequence of motion primitives, retaining elements of skillful or unique motion of an individual is addressed. Using wireless inertial motion sensors, a skeletal model of the fluid human gait was gathered. The posture of the human model is described by nine sets of euler angles for each sample. An intrinsic classification algorithm known as Minimum Message Length encoding (MML) is deployed to segment the stream of data and subsequently formulate certain Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) that contain a plausible range of motion primitives. The removal of certain less seemingly important modes has been …
