Agent Based Modeling and Simulation
The term computer simulation is related to the usage of a computational model in order to improve the understanding of a system's behavior and/or to evaluate strategies for its operation, in explanatory or predictive schemes. There are cases in which practical or ethical reasons make it impossible to realize direct observations: in these cases, the possibility of realizing 'in-machina' experime...
متن کاملAgent-Based Modeling and Simulation
peared? Was this caused by climate changes? What type of recruitment strategy among social insects is best adapted to their particular environment? How much time does it take to evacuate an airport if people have limited perception caused by smoke as well as restricted mobility? What if many of these people travel in groups or families? How long does it take for commuters to reach their destina...
متن کاملAgent-Based and Population-Based Simulation
Within Criminology, the process of crime displacement is usually explained by referring to the interaction of three types of agents: criminals, passers-by, and guardians. Most existing simulation models of this process are agent-based. However, when the number of agents considered becomes large, population-based simulation has computational advantages over agent-based simulation. This paper pre...
متن کاملUnderstanding Mobile technology in a Sociological Perspective
Hans Geser, University of Zürich 2006 Summary: While conventional mass media (and fixed phones) have primarily supported centralized, formalized organizations , households and other supraindividual systems, cell phones increase the reach and capacity of decentralized, informal systems based on interindividual interactions, thus decelerating or even reversing very long-term evolutionary trends o...
متن کاملMulti Agent Based Simulation: Beyond Social Simulation
Multi Agent Based Simulation (MABS) has been used mostly in purely social contexts. However, compared to other approaches, e.g., traditional discrete event simulation, object-oriented simulation and dynamic micro simulation, MABS has a number of interesting properties which makes it useful also for other domains. For instance, it supports structure preserving modeling of the simulated reality, ...
