I was reading about chemical engineers and they seem pretty cool. They then made think about the matrix and other sci-fi type things where the user is transported to a different reality. Then I thought about LSD and how some drugs can produce hallucinations. So, my idea is that in the far future instead of… Continue reading Year 2300

Making the blue prints, figuring out the permits, what contractors I need and when. Especially if I want to change something or money changes etc there are many dynamic unpredictable things that can… Continue reading Builder Broker
Microeconomics
I was learning a bit of micro to help my brother and here is a bit of what I learned. The economics term for derivative is marginal. Marginal revenue is the derivative of the revenue function. Revenue is defined by R(q) = P(q)*q the price at a particular quantity times the quantity sold. So, R'(q)… Continue reading Microeconomics

How many brokers must there be for no price wars to occur. Very interesting ideas. I liked the one… Continue reading Ramsey Theory
Parallelized Minimum Spanning Tree Algorithm
Using the cut property that states that for any cut the edge with the smallest weight is contained in a MST. So, could cut the graph up into pieces and run a O(n) (where n is edges) algorithm on each of the pieces. Just need to show that merging is correct.
Prisons as multiagent systems
Wonder how prisoner transport routes are created and scheduled. Maybe the whole prison system could be a test bed for “smart cities”. They are just the controlled environment we need. Wonder how much tech is involved in prisons currently. Probably MAL could be applied somewhere. Might be an application area worth looking into. Maybe the… Continue reading Prisons as multiagent systems
MASON workshop
Yesterday I attend a MASON workshop. People came from all over the world to present how they are using MASON to do agent based modeling.
