Modeling the Influence of Multiple Social Groups on Agents Behavior

چکیده
The behavior of agents is not only influenced by other individual agents, but also by the overall behavior of groups of agents. Since group behaviors are the aggregation of individual behaviours, they are mostly neglected in agents’ decision making process mainly because in agent-based models, the focus is on interactions and individuals behaviors rather than global patterns. In this paper we explain how group behaviors can be considered in agent-based models, and how the agents can use such behaviors in their decision making process.
