A Model With Heterogeneous Agents
This article introduces a multiagent simulation framework for investigating the emergence of niche markets for environmentally innovative products. It clarifies how consumer preferences, business strategy, and government policy interact during market development. The framework allows investigation of the effects of uncertainty and agents’ corresponding coping strategies. We describe the model, ...
متن کاملSimulating a computational grid with networked animat agents
Computational grids are now widespread, but their large-scale behaviour is still poorly understood. We report on some calculations of loading, scaling and utilisation behaviours of computational grids, based on simulations. We employ animat agents on a topologically detailed graph representing a grid overlay network. Agents are used to represent computational jobs, users and resources. We can o...
متن کاملInnovation Diffusion in Heterogeneous Populations
New products and practices take time to diffuse, a fact that is often attributed to some form of heterogeneity among potential adopters. People may realize different benefits and costs from the innovation, or have different beliefs about its benefits and costs, hear about it at different times, or delay in acting on their information. This paper analyzes the dynamics arising from different sour...
متن کاملDiffusion and social networks: revisiting medical innovation with agents
In this paper, we reanalyze Medical Innovation, the classic study on diffusion of Tetracycline by Coleman, Katz and Menzel (1966). Medical Innovation articulates how different patterns of interpersonal communications can influence the diffusion process at different stages of adoption. In their pioneering study, individual network (discussion, friendship or advice) was perceived as a set of disj...
متن کاملDiffusion and contagion in networks with heterogeneous agents and homophily
We study the diffusion of an idea, a product, a disease, a cultural fad, or a technology among agents in a social network that exhibits segregation or homophily (the tendency of agents to associate with others similar to themselves). Individuals are distinguished by their types e.g., race, gender, age, wealth, religion, profession which, together with biased interaction patterns, induce heterog...
