Pollution Modeling and Simulation with Multi-Agent and Pretopology

  • Conference paper
Complex Sciences (Complex 2009)

Abstract

Pollution in metropolitan cities has become a serious problem, resulting in poor living conditions and serious health problems. Pollution being qualified as a complex system, we propose a multi-agent approach to model and simulate it, so that we could study, analyze and predict it better. As in the early stage of the project, we have some successful experiments and attempts to integrate the mathematical theory of Pretopology in the modeling and simulation levels. In addition, these interesting results shades some light on our future direction.
