Agent-based Modeling and Simulation of Strategic Scenarios with Repast 2.0
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides a background discussion of agent -based modeling (ABM) and simulation of strategic scenarios. Causal mapping is introduced as a structured method for situational formulation and analysis of unstructured strategic problems. Causal mapping includes specific processes and analytical approaches offering cognitive modeling support for problem formulation and scenario planning. A prototype system for the development and simulation of causal maps using RePast 2.0 is described. A typical application is described and implementation issues are discussed. The prototype system provides the development of a human-artificial conceptual map for assumptional analysis of strategic scenarios that serve as the basis of selecting relevant information for strategic decision making.

متن کاملVisual Agent
Repast is a widely used, free, and open-source agent-based modeling and simulation toolkit. Three Repast platforms are currently available, each of which has the same core features but a different environment for these features. Repast Simphony (Repast S) extends the Repast portfolio by offering a new approach to simulation development and execution. This tutorial presents a simple “boids” styl...
متن کاملInterfacing RePast with HLA Using a Generic Architecture for COTS Simulation Package Interoperability
A Distributed Multi-Agent System (MAS) is often appropriate in solving large-scale experimental problems. RePast is a well-known simulation toolkit for agent-based modeling. In order to extend the scalability of RePast, one way is to partition the model into a distributed simulation. Interfacing RePast with the High Level Architecture (HLA) is a way to build the distributed system. This has pre...
متن کاملSimulation and Evaluation of Urban Development Scenarios Using Integration of Cellular Automata Model and Game Theory
Urban growth is a dynamic and evolutionary spatial and social process that relates to the changes of urban spatial units and the transformation of people’s lifestyles and consequently demographic changes. Considering the urban development process as a function of land uses interactions, population structure and the strategic behavior of the agents involved in the urban development process (the ...
متن کاملA Software Interface Between System Dynamics and Agent-Based Simulations
A software-based integration of agent-based modeling and system dynamics is presented. More precisely, it is described how RePast and Vensim can be coupled using standard procedure calls. In an example from supply chain management, agents modeled with RePast in an agent-based simulation context are provided with system dynamics models as internal schemata, which are built with Vensim. The proto...
