SIMUSE: an agent-based simulation on recreational polydrug users
This paper describes an attempt to capture individual and social characteristics of polydrug use in a generic agent-based model called SimUse. We consider poly-drug use and its social context as a complex adaptive system and use a generative framework to create an iterative dialogue between observations, theoretical constructs and computer simulations. This iterative process allows us, through ...
متن کاملBaSi: Multi-Agent Based Simulation for Medieval Battles
When dealing with non-trivial social systems, MultiAgent Based Simulation (MABS) makes it possible to model and simulate social aspects without neglecting articulated motivations, decisions and behaviours by individuals. In this paper, we experiment with the simulation of a peculiar sort of social system – namely, Medieval Battles – by using general-purpose agent methodologies and technologies ...
متن کاملSimulation of The Impact of Income Distribution on Social Unrest Using Agent-based Modeling Approach
Abstract Poverty and various forms of inequality, including class, gender, racial, and ethnic inequalities, are caused by imbalances of power relations and make society prone to social instability and unrest; Inequalities that are by-products of the growing power imbalances between the rich and the poor. The problems of poverty and inequality are inextricably linked to powerful economic and p...
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 کاملMentat: A Data-Driven Agent-Based Simulation of Social Values Evolution
This work presents an agent based simulation model dealing with the evolution of social values in a 20 year period of the Spanish society, approaching it from Inglehart’s theories on the subject. Surveys are taken as input to build the model by following a data-driven approach. This has been formalised in a methodology for introducing microsimulation techniques and importing data from several s...
