▼ Natural disasters could result in unnecessary loss of life and disproportionate suffering to families and communities if evacuation plans are not in place or understood by the public. In the Pacific Northwest, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami from the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) represents one of the most pressing natural disasters with an astonishing high 7%-12% chance of occurrence by 2060. The destructive nature of earthquakes and the subsequent near-field tsunami, and also the retrofitting challenges of infrastructure network motivates us to accurately model the tsunami evacuation to reduce the number of fatalities. This thesis presents an agent-based multi-modal near-field tsunami evacuation modeling framework in Netlogo. The goals of this study are two folded. The first objective is to investigate how (1) decision time, (2) choice of modes of transportation (i.e., walking and automobile), and in general (3) different variables involved in the evacuation scenario (e.g., walking speed and driving speed) impact the estimation of casualties. Using the city of Seaside, Oregon as a study site, which is one of the most vulnerable cities on the Oregon coast, different evacuation scenarios are included in the model to assess the impact of parameters involved on the mortality rate of the tsunami event. The results show that (1) evacuation mode choice strongly influences the expected number of casualties; (2) the mortality rate is strongly correlated with decision-making time (τ ); and (3) the mortality rate is sensitive to the variations in walking speed of the evacuee population. Secondly, this study extends the agent-based modeling framework to assess the transportation network vulnerability in Seaside, OR, under unplanned disruptions (i.e., bridge failures) due to the Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake initiating a near-field tsunami on the coast of State of Oregon. The criticality of each link in the entire network is evaluated iteratively by connecting the impacts of link failures on the resultant mortality rate. After assessing all the links, an innovative method is developed to identify the most critical links within the network. Further assessment is conducted on the identified critical links to formulate an optimal network retrofitting plan to minimize the mortality rate considering the limited amount of resources. The framework has been tested on the transportation network of city of Seaside, OR, and the results show that the critical links are not necessarily the bridges in the network. Therefore, the identification of the critical links requires a systematic assessment of the entire transportation network, and furthermore, minimizing the mortality rate necessitates the logical use of available resources.

▼ Bacterial biofilm formation is a complex, organized collective response to biochemical cues, which transitively modulates gene expression, metabolite concentration, cellular function, and biofilm formation. Merging computational and experimental methods for studying biofilms is valuable in characterizing and understanding the connections between cellular-scale interactions, changing microenvironmental conditions, molecular-scale gene dynamics, and corresponding metabolic responses that modulate static culture biofilm formation. A simulation platform of Escherichia coli K12 MG1655’s biofilm formation was first developed using a multiscale agent based model (ABM) framework, which modeled the intracellular, extracellular, and cellular system levels. Global sensitivity analysis of the ABM’s simulated biofilm formation was used characterize the cellular model impact on biofilm formation, and the simulated results were used to characterize attached and planktonic bacteria’s metabolic response during biofilm formation. Of the intracellular model’s ~180 kinetic parameters, only ~14% were considered for parameter optimization, which denotes large parametric uncertainty. We characterized the intracellular model’s uncertainty by integrating a biologically motivated modeling assumption, multi-phenotype modeling, with uncertainty quantification methods. Our novel procedure, multi-phenotype calibration, used shaken and static culture dynamics to identify the most probable parameter values and their corresponding uncertainties. Next, a static culture in vitro model of a E. coli GFP reporter strain library was used to generate high time resolution gene expression and biofilm formation empirical data. The empirical data was used to update the bacterial movement and growth rules. In addition, we characterized the impact of the intracellular and cellular model’s parameter uncertainty on the simulated biofilm formation. Using the simulation results, we studied the impact of quorum sensing on bacteria movement. The static culture ABM successfully predicted biofilm growth, and the discrepancy in simulated bacterial distribution was attributed to an uncharacterized interaction between bacterial movement and the presence of extracellular polymeric substances. In our analysis, GlycerAldehyde-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase demonstrated statistically significant sensitivities to biofilm formation, which has been documented as having an impact on bacteria growth and movement during biofilm formation. The model verified an increase in extracellular quorum sensing signaling molecule, AI2, concentration reduces bacteria movement during biofilm formation. Lastly, the in silico model demonstrates the discovery potential of integrating a dynamic intracellular model and a mechanistic movement rule within a biofilm ABM, and we outlined a framework for applying uncertainty quantification to help combat the parametric uncertainty introduced by using dynamic and mechanistically representative models.

▼ The interrelationship between Quality Management (QM) and productivity has long been of interest to academics and practitioners. The effects of quality management on organizational performance are traditionally researched by statistical models. Adopting a macro (system) level approach, statistical models fall short of providing an explanatory account for QM. They seem to be inappropriate for understanding purposes, because they lack sufficient, micro-level details of QM effects. They do not clarify the links between micro-level activities recommended in quality models (i.e. by PDCA cycles, or training) with macro-level organizational productivity. This shortcoming has given fresh impetus for researching these issues using other approaches. By virtue of the agent-based modeling paradigm, an innovative model, called Multi Agent Quality Model (MAQM), has been developed to address this need. The epistemological foundation of MAQM differs from the current QM research in both modeling approach and reasoning method; statistical models are inductive, equation-based models, whereas MAQM is a simulation, entity-based model. The theoretical foundation of MAQM is based on the concept of learning which is a running thread linking QM with organization science and the agent-based modeling paradigm. A reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm has been developed to characterize the effects of quality leadership on productivity. The result of applying this algorithm is to alter relationships between agents. The appropriateness of RL comes from the observation that within the quality management framework one of the management responsibilities is to review the quality management system periodically and to decide on required actions for improvement based on customer feedback. The effects of quality leadership, individual’s characteristics, information distortion, organizational learning memory, and customer requirement complexity are studied in this thesis. The results show that effective quality leadership, being a balanced combination of exploration of new actions and exploitation of previous good actions, outperform pure exploration or exploitation strategies only in the long run. In the short run, however, pure exploitation surpasses other actions. As regards individuals’ characteristics, it can be inferred that a well-balanced business process comprised of similar agents (in terms of agents’ processing time and accuracy) outperforms other scenarios. Furthermore, from the results for varying complexity of customer requirements, it can be argued that more intricacy usually leads to less performance. Also, the usefulness of RL in comparison to a random algorithm is reduced when the complexity of customer requirements increases. It is also seen that agents’ forgetfulness has a significant, detrimental effect on productivity, no matter how complex the customer’s requirement is. The model has shown that distortions within the organization have a more…

▼ Urban areas are seeing influx of population and therefore are experiencing increasing stress on the systems currently in place. In traffic networks, a larger population means that their are inevitably a short term increase in mobility demands. To accommodate this, governments and and the private sector are proposing new solutions for mobility. One such focus is the introduction of new transport modes. A common classification for these modes is Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), which includes modes such as carsharing, shared last-mile transportation like bicycles, and ridesharing. MaaS also overlaps with other new modes such as autonomous and electric vehicles. Modeling these types of modes and their subsequent interactions with each other and traditional modes requires more complex modeling techniques than have been traditionally used in transport modeling. The purpose of this thesis is to propose a method for using agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) to assess traffic network resilience, as ABMS has the dynamic qualities that match well with the time variant nature resilience.. This gap is especially prevalent when considering novel modes of transport, such as ridesharing. Data from the metropolitan region of Rotterdam and The Hague (Metropoolregio Rotterdam Den Haag or MRDH) is used for a case study on the corridor between Rotterdam and The Hague. The goal is to prove feasibility of a method for assessing resilience in traffic networks using ABMS. A resilience framework for urban mobility is proposed that uses six categories to characterize resilience: (1) reflective, redundant, flexible, resourceful, inclusive, and integrated. Using this framework as a guide, three metrics are proposed for measuring resilience using agent-based simulation: origin-destination (OD) travel time, link travel time, and link volume. These metrics are used to compare scenarios that either include a disturbance in the network or do not, which in this case occurs for a 30 minute period on the A4 roadway between Rotterdam and The Hague. While the OD travel time metric is limited in its usability, the link travel time metric makes apparent the the recovery time to achieve normal operating conditions after a disturbance. In the presented case study, scenarios that included ridesharing had worse recovery time then the car only scenario, as well as a higher maximum travel time across the disturbed link. The link volume metric contextualizes these results, showing that while the overall volume throughout the simulation is lower for the ridesharing cases, the volume during the disturbance across the disrupted portion of the A4 roadway is higher. The higher volume shows why the travel time is higher with the presence of ridesharing in the disturbance scenario. These results are subject to the limitations of the model, though, which include dynamic routing that may not avoid the disturbed portion of the network when the disturbance occurs.

▼ Biomedical science can be characterized as the pursuit of deeper, more useful mechanistic insight into biological phenomena to facilitate advancing health. In silico modeling and simulation can accelerate this process when models are designed for particular use cases aimed at challenging explanatory, mechanistic hypotheses. Modeling and simulation is ubiquitous in biology. Yet, a mental gap exists between computational versus wet-lab models in terms of their perceived scientific usefulness. Bridging this gap requires focusing on computational models as scientific tools that can explore and challenge explanatory, mechanistic hypotheses.I begin by exploring the roles of computational, mechanistic models in science and their relationship to traditional wet-lab science. I analyze biological modeling and simulation from a philosophy of science perspective, culminating in a requirements list for computational models that are to be scientifically useful. To fulfill these requirements, I present the synthetic analog approach, a developing simulation methodology for simulating complex, multi-scale biological systems, and discuss agent-based modeling as an appropriate modeling formalism. I then extend this approach to include the development and execution of virtual biomedical experiments, which are simulations of wet-lab or clinical biomedical experiments. Executing virtual biomedical experiments allows one to mimic all relevant aspects of the wet-lab scientific process—from hypothesis formation to data analysis, and key concepts in between. I envision virtual experimentation not as a supplement to traditional wet-lab experimentation, but rather as an essential part of the scientific method itself.I demonstrate the above methodology and virtual experiment vision by developing software analogs that quantitatively mimic wet-lab experiments related to drug metabolism, drug-induced toxicity, and immune system interactions with the liver. I use these models to explore several mechanistic hypotheses, reaching several validation milestones and falsifying several mechanistic explanations along the way. I highlight the importance of modularity in achieving the above vision, and develop a modularization approach to facilitate model reuse and repurposing. Finally, I discuss important technical issues in agent-based modeling and offer practical solutions. Taken together, this dissertation aims to demonstrate and lay the preliminary groundwork for engineering scientifically useful virtual biomedical experiments.

▼ The subject of this thesis is the computational modeling of the transmission of cultural information and of the resulting emergent cultural dynamics – the formation, maintenance, and change of culture. The main premise is that this subject requires a two-component research program: (1) the detailed study of the transmission of cultural information during social interactions, and (2) an uptake of these results to analyze the emerging phenomena at the level of societies. We adopt the view that computational modeling is a particularly promising tool for addressing the second component, while it can also support fields such as psychology and cognitive science in addressing the first component. The reasons for this are that computational models offer (1) an appropriate language for precisely describing mechanisms at all relevant levels of analysis (i.e. intra-personal, inter-personal, and societal-level mechanisms) and (2) a promising opportunity to consider all of these levels simultaneously. The consequence is that computational models can contribute to a refinement of the models or theories they represent, and they can be used to rigorously explore the implications of these models or theories on varying scales. We rely on the social-psychological grounding model of cultural transmission, which provides a detailed model of cultural transmission during social interactions, in constructing computational models of cultural transmission and dynamics. The research questions we address are (1) how can the grounding model of cultural transmission be translated into computational models of cultural transmission and dynamics, and (2) how can these computational models contribute to the refinement of the grounding model of cultural transmission and to the understanding of cultural dynamics. The contribution towards the first research question is a series of computational models of cultural transmission and dynamics based on the grounding model of cultural transmission. The contribution towards the second question is an analysis of each of these models with respect to its refinement of the grounding model of cultural transmission and its contribution to the understanding of cultural dynamics. The models we introduce and discuss are, in particular, (1) a model of the co-evolution of cultures, social networks, and geographical locations, (2) a model of the communication of stereotype-relevant information, considering that stereotypes are a particular type of cultural information, (3) a detailed semi-formal model of the grounding model of cultural transmission, and (4) an architecture of joint action which accounts for empirically observed phenomena relevant to cultural transmission.

▼ Dengue fever is the second most widespread tropical disease after malaria and affects populations of more than 100 countries (Derouich and Boutayeb 2006). It is considered one of the most severe viral diseases in terms of morbidity and mortality (Guzmán and Kourí 2004). Over the last decade, dengue fever has become the most wide-spread vector-borne disease in Costa Rica (CCSS 2008). However, only a few research studies have been conducted in Costa Rica to investigate the factors influencing the rates of dengue fever. While GIS and statistical analysis have been used in research studies, agent-based modeling has not been applied to the study of dengue. This study emphasizes how traditional macro level GIS analysis and the implementation of a micro-level dengue fever agent-based model can be merged into a novel framework for the study of dengue fever in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. One of the main objectives was to develop an agent-based model, which integrated GIS to simulate the spread of dengue fever disease in an urban environment, as a result of an individual’s interactions in a geospatial context. Precipitation, temperature, socio-economic and demographic variables were analyzed using these technologies to identify the factors affecting the rates of dengue fever in the study area. GIS was used to map dengue risk and the spatial distribution and vulnerability of dengue risk in the study area using geographically weighted regression. The Dengue Fever Agent Based Model (DFABM) was developed using the Java programming language and the open-source MASON simulator, a multi-threaded agent-based simulation platform. The DFABM represented daily movements and interactions of people, the environment, and the vector, relative to dengue cases. The simulation examined detailed data about each scenario to identify the significant events occurring during outbreaks. The data employed included the number of susceptible, exposed, and infected people. The locations (described by longitude and latitude) and temporal data describing infected individuals were also collected for analysis. The DFABM tracked the factors affecting dengue fever, including precipitation, temperature, and the most important demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the population in the study area. The research questions guiding this study were: Does a community-level dengue fever agent-based model (DFABM) produce results comparable (agree) to those produced by traditional macro-level GIS analysis? Does a community-based dengue fever agent-based model (DFABM) enhance traditional geographic information system analysis and could it aid in predicting future dengue fever outbreaks? The findings of the community-level ABM generated similar results to (they were in agreement with) the traditional GIS analysis technique. Likewise, the DFABM enhanced traditional methods of analysis and could aid in predicting dengue fever outbreaks. Therefore, the coupling of GIS and ABM was the optimal research design for the study of dengue fever in the Central Valley… Advisors/Committee Members: Fuhrmann, Sven (advisor), Tiefenbacher, John (committee member), Dixon, Richard (committee member), Podorozhny, Rodion (committee member).

▼ Realistically, no two nuclear proliferating or defensive entities are exactly identical; Agent Based Modeling (ABM) is a computational methodology addressing the uniqueness of those facilitating or preventing nuclear proliferation. The modular Bayesian ABM Nonproliferation Enterprise (BANE) tool has been developed at Texas A &M University for nuclear nonproliferation analysis. Entities engaged in nuclear proliferation cover a range of activities and fall within proliferating, defensive, and neutral agent classes. In BANE proliferating agents pursue nuclear weapons, or at least a latent nuclear weapons capability. Defensive nonproliferation agents seek to uncover, hinder, reverse, or dismantle any proliferation networks they discover. The vast majority of agents are neutral agents, of which only a small subset can significantly enable proliferation. BANE facilitates intelligent agent actions by employing entropy and mutual information for proliferation pathway determinations. Factors including technical success, resource expenditures, and detection probabilities are assessed by agents seeking optimal proliferation postures. Coupling ABM with Bayesian analysis is powerful from an omniscience limitation perspective. Bayesian analysis supports linking crucial knowledge and technology requirements into relationship networks for each proliferation category. With a Bayesian network, gaining information on proliferator actions in one category informs defensive agents where to expend limited counter-proliferation impeding capabilities. Correlating incomplete evidence for pattern recognition in BANE using Bayesian inference draws upon technical supply side proliferation linkages grounded in physics. Potential or current proliferator security, economic trajectory, or other factors modify demand drivers for undertaking proliferation. Using Bayesian inference the coupled demand and supply proliferation drivers are connected to create feedback interactions. Verification and some validation for BANE is performed using scenarios and historical case studies. Restrictive export controls, swings in global soft power affinity, and past proliferation program assessments for entities ranging from the Soviet Union to Iraq demonstrates BANE’s flexibility and applicability. As a newly developed tool, BANE has room for future contributions from computer science, engineering, and social scientists. Through BANE the framework exists for detailed nonproliferation expansion into broader weapons of mass effect analysis; since, nuclear proliferation is but one option for addressing international security concerns.

▼ The dengue virus has become widespread worldwide in recent decades. It has no specific treatment and affects more than 40% of the entire population in the world. In Thailand, dengue has been a health concern for more than half a century. The highest number of cases in one year was 174,285 in 1987, leading to 1,007 deaths. In the present day, dengue is distributed throughout the entire country. Therefore, dengue has become a major challenge for public health in terms of both prevention and control of outbreaks. Different methodologies and ways of dealing with dengue outbreaks have been put forward by researchers. Computational models and simulations play an important role, as they have the ability to help researchers and officers in public health gain a greater understanding of the virus's epidemic activities. In this context, this dissertation presents a new framework, Modified Agent-Based Modeling (mABM), a hybrid platform between a mathematical model and a computational model, to simulate a dengue outbreak in human and mosquito populations. This framework improves on the realism of former models by utilizing the reported data from several Thai government organizations, such as the Thai Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), the National Statistical Office, and others. Additionally, its implementation takes into account the geography of Thailand, as well as synthetic mosquito and synthetic human populations. mABM can be used to represent human behavior in a large population across variant distances by specifying demographic factors and assigning mobility patterns for weekdays, weekends, and holidays for the synthetic human population. The mosquito dynamic population model (MDP), which is a component of the mABM framework, is used for representing the synthetic mosquito population dynamic and their ecology by integrating the regional model to capture the effect of dengue outbreak. The two synthetic populations can be linked to each other for the purpose of presenting their interactions, and the Local Stochastic Contact Model for Dengue (LSCM-DEN) is utilized. For validation, the number of cases from the experiment is compared to reported cases from the Thailand Vector Borne Disease Bureau for the selected years. This framework facilitates model configuration for sensitivity analysis by changing parameters, such as travel routes and seasonal temperatures. The effects of these parameters were studied and analyzed for an improved understanding of dengue outbreak dynamics.

▼ The study of epithelial morphogenesis is fundamental to increasing our understanding of organ function and disease. Great progress has been made through study of culture systems such as EMT6/Ro mouse mammary tumor spheroids and Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, but many aspects of even simple morphogenesis remain unclear. For example, are specific cell actions tightly coupled to the characteristics cell environment or are they more often cell state dependent? Our objective was to discover plausible representations of the operating principles realized during characteristic growth of EMT6/Ro mouse mammary tumor spheroids and MDCK cells in culture. To reach that objective we engineered and iteratively falsified agent-oriented analogues of EMT6 spheroid growth (Chapter 2) and MDCK cystogenesis (Chapters 3 and 4). An approach to understanding how individual cell behaviors contribute to system behaviors is to discover a set of principles that enable abstract agents to exhibit closely analogous behaviors using only information available in an agent's immediate environment. EMT6 spheroids and MDCK cysts display consistent and predictable growth characteristics, implying that individual cell behaviors are tightly controlled and regulated. We listed key attributes of EMT6 spheroid growth and MDCK cystogenesis, which became our behavioral targets.To understand the in vitro systems we created analogues made up of quasi-autonomous software agents and an abstract environment in which they could operate. The EMT6 analogue was designed so that upon execution it could mimic EMT6 cells forming spheroids in culture. Each agent used an identical set of axiomatic operating principles. In sequence, we used the list of targeted attributes to falsify and revise these axioms, until the analogue exhibited behaviors and attributes that were within prespecified ranges of those targeted, thereby achieving a level of validation. For the analogue of MDCK cystogenesis we tested our hypotheses through in vitro experimentation and quantitative validation. We observed novel growth patterns, including a cell behavior shift that began around day five of growth.We posit that the validated analogues' operating principles are reasonable representations of those utilized by EMT6/Ro and MDCK cells during morphogenesis. Simulations provide an observable theory for cystogenesis based on hypothesized, cell-level operating principles.
