We present a detailed analysis of the self-organization phenomenon in which the stylized facts originate from finite size effects with respect to the number of agents considered and disappear in the limit of an infinite population. By introducing the possibility that agents can enter or leave the market depending on the behavior of the price, it is possible to show that the system self-organize...

This paper studies the effect of different implementation approaches on agent-based computer models. This is accomplished via four reimplementations of a simple model of self-organization. How implementation choices 'guide our hands' and lead possibly to implicit assumptions about the modeled system is also demonstrated. Furthermore, the question of what makes a model agent-based is studied. An...

Sharing information about profiles and offered competencies of individual members within an alliance of cooperating companies facilitates searching for potential members of Virtual Organizations. This paper presents a concept of structuring of the competencies as well as a prototype proving this concept. The prototype follows a naturally hybrid architecture of alliances that consists of mutuall...

In this paper we consider the adaptability in an agent-based Virtual Organisation (VO). After introducing the system and the need for adaptive behaviours, human resource adaptability in particular, we discuss how the goal of ‘agent adaptation’ can be implemented. Specifically, we propose how agent behaviours can be added into/removed from/replaced in an agent skeleton, and, in this way, agent f...
