research papers on SPARK

[Rupinder Paul]

Hi,

I was wondering if there are any research papers available on SPARK
framework or any relevant publications/ppt/write-ups that may be
available other than the basic usage documentation that is already
provided on website.

regards
Rupen

Hi Rupen,

There is one due out later this year, and another - more detailed one - in the works. None published yet, though.

Rupen:
 We have a conference paper about SPARK that will be presented at the upcoming 2010 Spring Simulation Multiconference in April.  Also the expanded version of the paper is invited to submit for the International Journal of Agent Technologies and Systems. Once the paper is out, we will send you the pdf of it.
thanks

Hi ,

Qi & Joyeeta : thank you , I was just hoping to get a better insight
of broad principles/properties SPARK framework is built on. But I
think I will manage it with other papers describing ABM

One more question: I was looking into InnateImmuneResponse Model from
the samples in SPARK . There are two different version of the same
model Ver1 & Ver2. Although there readme file is the exactly same , I
was hoping if you help me establish any difference in the two
versions, be it at implementation level or in fact the model itself.

thank you for your help

Hi Rupen,

The difference between Innate Immune Response Model 1 and 2 is the
following: the first model is a more or less verbatim translation of
the existing Netlogo model created by Dr. Gary An. The second model is
exactly the same model but the order in which agents make their turns
is different. In the first model, agents are moved in the Model end-
step function using 'ask' keyword (exactly in the same way as in the
original Netlogo model). In the second model, agents perform their
actions in the usual SPARK way: each agent has the 'step' function
which is called for each agent every simulation step automatically.
The behavior of two models is essentially the same.

okay..got it , thank you Alexey
