Heuristics to characterise human behaviour in agent based models
Human behaviour is one of the key factors to understand the causes for common pool resource problems and to develop policies to promote more sustainable resource management regimes. Agent based models can help to investigate the role of important processes in this respect such as factors determining the degree of trust and cooperation in a group. We have chosen a pragmatic approach to represent...
متن کاملPosition Paper for Agent-Based Models of Complex Systems
Object-oriented process models, which include individual-based models (IBM) commonly used in ecology and agent-based models (ABM) common in the social sciences, allow for modeling both change and movement of geographic entities and have developed independently of GIS. The object-oriented framework of ABM involves identification of agents and of a temporal framework within which those agents per...
متن کاملAgent-based Genetic and Emergent Computational Models of Complex Systems
Agent--an object with various attributes that interprets and interacts with its environment through behavioral rules. Emergence--the evolution of structure and action from within the system itself, as opposed to being externally imposed. Computational model--a simplification of a real system that can be analytically understood and/or run as a computer simulation. Complex system--a collection of...
متن کاملEvolutionary Models for Agent-Based Complex Behavior Modeling
In this chapter, the essentials of genetic algorithm (GA) following the footsteps of Turing are introduced. We introduce the connection between Turing’s early ideas of organized machines and modern evolutionary computation. We mainly discuss the GA applications to adaptive complex system modeling. We study the agent-based market where collective behaviors are regarded as aggregations of individ...
متن کاملPredicting Behavior in Agent-Based Models for Complex Systems
Many important real-world systems feature a population of interacting objects (e.g., financial markets, traffic). These systems often exhibit unexpected macroscopic behavior whose existence would have been hard to predict based solely on a knowledge of the microscopic properties of an individual (e.g., market crashes, traffic jams). Despite the lack of a universally accepted definition of compl...
