The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Virtual Environments and Autonomous Agents for Urban Park and Garden Management. Urban parks and gardens are a heavily used resource. The quality of the recreational experience and the physical environment are at risk from over-use. Modelling recreator behaviour can identify management decisions that maximise benefit. Autonomous agents are an emerging approach to modelling people's movements based on their beliefs, desires and intentions. The behavioural characteristics of various agents will be ....Virtual Environments and Autonomous Agents for Urban Park and Garden Management. Urban parks and gardens are a heavily used resource. The quality of the recreational experience and the physical environment are at risk from over-use. Modelling recreator behaviour can identify management decisions that maximise benefit. Autonomous agents are an emerging approach to modelling people's movements based on their beliefs, desires and intentions. The behavioural characteristics of various agents will be assessed using surveys and controlled experiments in virtual environments. Agent-modelling based on these experiments will be applied in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne. This is an ideal test environment but the results will have applicability in a wider international context.Read moreRead less
