Modeling civil violence: an agent-based computational approach.
This article presents an agent-based computational model of civil violence. Two variants of the civil violence model are presented. In the first a central authority seeks to suppress decentralized rebellion. In the second a central authority seeks to suppress communal violence between two warring ethnic groups.
متن کاملSimulating Civil Disorder: An Agent-Based Modeling Approach
This paper introduces a preliminary agent-based simulation model that seeks to analyze individual-level behaviors. The model is guided by theory and previous empirical studies on riot simulation. Data on the evolution of the contagion processamong assembled civilian agents is collected to better understand how the ratio of various civilian groups affectsriot development. Numerous variables incl...
متن کاملModeling Civil Violence: An Evolutionary Multi-Agent, Game Theoretic Approach [CEC7452]
This paper focuses on the design and development of a spatial Evolutionary Multi-Agent Social Network (EMAS) to investigate the underlying emergent macroscopic behavioral dynamics of civil violence, as a result of the microscopic local movement and game-theoretic interactions between multiple goal-oriented agents. Agents are modeled from multidisciplinary perspectives and their behavioral strat...
متن کاملAn Agent Based Approach to Modeling the Behavior of Civil Infrastructure Systems
Civil infrastructure systems – transportation, water and wastewater, utilities, communications – provide the foundation for economic growth and enhanced quality of life. The inherent complexity of infrastructure systems and the decision-making surrounding them can be formalized using complex systems theory. The models and tools we currently use for infrastructure management do not necessarily r...
متن کاملAn Agent Operationalization Approach for Context Specific Agent-Based Modeling
The potential of agent-based modeling (ABM) has been demonstrated in various research fields. However, three major concerns limit the full exploitation of ABM; (i) agents are too simple and behave unrealistically without any empirical basis, (ii) 'proof of concept' applications are too theoretical and (iii) too much value placed on operational validity instead of conceptual validity. This paper...
