Abstract: Discrete Event Templates for Environment Sustainable Development expounds upon an important chapter of artificial intelligence; respectively, discrete event systems applied for modeling and simulation of control, logistic supply, chart positioning, conservation and protection of natural resources in order to have a clean and healthy environment capable to ensure a sustainable development of modern global society.
All these factors allow for a new design of artificial social systems dotted with intelligence, autonomous decision-making capabilities, and self-diagnosing properties.
Artificial social systems were defined by Y. Moses and M. Tennenholtz in their work ”Artificial Social Systems,” www.home.cs.utwente.nl: ”An artificial social system is a set of restrictions on agents’ behaviors in a multi-agent environment. Its role is to allow agents to coexist in a shared environment and pursue their respective goals in the presence of other agents.”
Heuristics techniques, data mining planning activities, scheduling algorithms, automatic data identification, processing, and control represent as many trumps for these new systems’ analyzing formalism.
This lecture aims to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings. Social simulations grounded on solid conceptual models from the social sciences, such as discrete event social simulations, provide a fully traceable implementation of these concepts that readily accommodate the varying timescales in gaining a better understanding of the complex, adaptive system that is society.
The tutorial introduces real, e.g. implemented by the author, approaches and frameworks for modeling and simulation process, kinematic constraints of the trophic closed loop chains as well as modern issues for automatic control of diverse pollution systems.
We challenge the reader to reveal the development stage of social networks appliance upon environmental issues and to anticipate their future evolution in respect to technological and climatic changes.
