Data Analytics and Visualization of Adaptive Collaboration Simulations

Role-based collaboration (RBC) is an adaptive computational methodology that uses roles as underlying mechanisms to facilitate and analyze system behavior for entities that collaborate and coordinate their activities with or within these systems. In dynamic environments, including those that occur in large-scale simulations, visualization provides insights into complex systems behaviors. This article presents a visual analytics (VA) approach to studying dynamics involved in adaptive collaboration (AC) for large, multiagent simulation model using new open-source tools. The results show that time-varying systems can be steered for optimal performance and assessing adaptations using VA dashboards.
