Agent-based parallel system for numerical computations

Abstract: The paper describes a way of applying agent paradigm to hp-adaptive Finite Element Method (hp-FEM). We discuss a choice of classical numerical algorithms suitable for incorporating into an agent-based application, along with an efficient way of adopting them into an agent-based application. We define formally a Computing Multi Agent System (C-MAS) for adaptive 1D FEM based on Smart Solid Agent model and describe tasks executed by hp-FEM agents. Finally, we spare a few paragraphs for numerical experiments perfo… Show more

“…For example, the concentration or total uptake of a chemotherapy drug necessary to kill a cancer cell can be measured in vitro ; the agents query the surrounding environment to detect the local drug concentration: if it is above the known lethal concentration based on experimental results, it enters apoptosis/necrosis. Information such as local oxygen, nutrient, and therapeutic drug concentration are often solved over the large scale background using numerical methods, including, e.g., finite difference [41], alternating direction implicit [42], or finite element methods [4345]. The combination of different spatiotemporal scales in a model often results in a hybrid model, where multiple modeling techniques (such as discrete and continuum) are combined into one model.…”

“…Such process forms a binary tree and the time complexity is logarithmic. The concepts, data structures and the implementation of this algorithm in an agent-oriented environment were described in [3]. This use case has a significant impact on the design of the application described below.…”

“…For the reasons described in [3], the agents behavior is expected to change several times in runtime. That is why each agent's task is defined in general as playing an assigned Role.…”
