Two-sides of Emergence in Participatory Simulations

چکیده
Starting from an agent-based model of the coffee market in the state of Veracruz, we conducted participatory simulation experiments where human players were given the roles of reactive agents. The simulations were tuned to favor the apparition of coalitions among coffee producers. In addition to the expected coalitions, we witnessed another kind of emergence: roles were specialized with the apparition of traders among the coffee producers. Drawing from this first-hand experience, we came to consider participatory simulations as a way to create multi-agent systems where humans improve problem solving capabilities of the system.

Integrating Computational and Participatory Simulations for Design in Complex Systems
The understanding and conceptualization of cities and its constituent systems such as transportation and healthcare as open and complex is shifting the debates around the technical and communicative rationales of planning. Viewing cities in a holistic manner, as being organized at multiple scales and by multiple actors presents methodological challenges, one where our understanding of dynamism ...
متن کاملA Multi-Stage Method for Connecting Participatory Sensing and Noise Simulations
Most simulation-based noise maps are important for official noise assessment but lack local noise characteristics. The main reasons for this lack of information are that official noise simulations only provide information about expected noise levels, which is limited by the use of large-scale monitoring of noise sources, and are updated infrequently. With the emergence of smart cities and ubiqu...

متن کاملA User Interface to Support Dialogue and Negotiation in Participatory Simulations
In this paper, we discuss the process of analysis and design of a user interface to support dialogue and negotiation between players of participatory simulations. The underlying context is an interdisciplinary project, named SimParc [8], about participatory management of protected areas for biodiversity conservation and social inclusion. This project is inspired by the ComMod MAS/RPG approach [...
