Agent-Based Computational Economics: Simulation Tools for Heterodox Research *DRAFT*

This chapter introduces Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) as a research tool that possesses advantages for heterodox research programs. We introduce the approach in four steps. First, we discuss the uniqueness of ABMs, which lies primarily in the flexibility to incorporate vastly heterogeneous agents and to address models with high degrees of freedom. Second, we argue that the flexibility of ABMs make...

Agent-Based Simulation Model for Managing Disruptions

An essential activity in managing an emergency is planning, preparation, and training for it. The harmful consequences can be diminished if accurate safety metrics are incorporated before. This leads to the simulation of an emergency event which is required to devise a roadmap, evaluate the effectiveness of numerous possible scenarios and thereby mitigate the damages significantly. An agent-bas...

Agent-Based Wheat Simulation Model Cooperation Research

Cooperative multi-agent systems (MAS) are ones in which several agents attempt, through their interaction, to jointly solve tasks or to maximize utility. Due to the interactions among the agents, multi-agent problem complexity can rise rapidly with the number of agents or their behavioral sophistication. This paper propose a kind of agent-based cooperation design thought and the realization for...

Agent-Based Simulation Model Representation Using BPMN

Conceptual modelling is the process of abstracting a model from a real or proposed system into a conceptual model. An explicit conceptual model representation allows the model to be communicated and analysed by the stakeholders involved in a simulation project. A good representation that can be understood by all stakeholders is especially essential when the project involves different stakeholde...
