Different Paradigms of Software Agents Applied to Modeling and Simulation of Complex Social Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The term agent, deriving from the Latin “agens”, identifies someone (or something) who acts; the same word can also be used to define a mean through which some action is made or caused. The term is used in many different fields and disciplines, such as economics, physics, natural sciences, sociology and many others. In computer science, the word is used to define very heterogeneous entities and sometimes is even abused. The main purpose of this work is to investigate various kinds of software agents that could be applied to modeling and simulation of complex social systems.

Agent Based Simulation of Sale and Manufacturing Agents Acting Across a Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
Agent based modeling and simulation consider the behavior of agents acting in a system. The agents' interactions result in changing the agent’s behavior, the whole agent based system, and its environment. In this study, the manufacturing, sale, and receiving orders behaviors pertinent to manufacturing and sale agents acting across a pharmaceutical supply chain of an Iranian manufacturing medici...

متن کاملPeer Pressure in Smoking and its Impact on Social Welfare; A Study Using Agent-based Modeling and Simulation
Many people die each year due to smoking. Social pressures, such as peer pressure, which are manifested in one's interactions with his/her peers, are from very effective factors in people's tendency to smoke. In this research, it was attempted to study and analyze peer pressure in smoking and its impact on some of the welfare indicators including mortality number due to starvation, wealth avera...
متن کاملM. Remondino: Reactive and Deliberative Agents Applied to Simulation of Socio- Economical and Biological Systems
An important open issue in the Agent Based Simulation field is the lack of an univocal definition of the term “agent” and of the paradigms and methodology used to build models; in software-engineering, a system of independent programs is considered a multi-agent system, although there is no clarity about what the term exactly defines. The term “agent”, deriving from the Latin “agens”, identifie...
