Simulation models that describe autonomous individual organisms (individual based
models, IBM) or agents (agent-based models, ABM) have become a widely used tool, not …

Agent-based simulation has become increasingly popular as a modeling approach in the
social sciences because it enables researchers to build models where individual entities …

Objectives Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a type of computer simulation that creates a
virtual society and allows controlled experimentation. ABM has the potential to be a powerful …

Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a novel computational methodology for representing the
behavior of individuals in order to study social phenomena. Its use is rapidly growing in …

A new approach is suggested under the slogan “Keep it Descriptive Stupid”(KIDS) that
encapsulates a trend in increasingly descriptive agent-based social simulation. The KIDS …

Simulations provide a useful methodological approach for studying the behavior of complex
socio-technical information systems (IS), in which humans and IT artifacts interact to process …

The paper deals with the use of empirical data in social science agent-based models. Agent-
based models are too often viewed just as highly abstract thought experiments conducted in …

The objectives of this paper are to define and classify different types of errors and artefacts
that can appear in the process of develo** an agent-based model, and to propose …

Complex systems have received increased attention from numerous scientific disciplines
recently, and from this has emerged a broad ranging interdisciplinary science of complexity …

Experimental robobiological physics can bring insights into biological evolution. We present
a development of hybrid analog/digital autonomous robots with mutable diploid …
