In this paper, several factors are analyzed in the evolution of Internet public opinion in emergent events. The analysis was conducted with an illustration about the information spreading in “H7N9 Event” with the help of NetLogo. After agent-based modeling and simulation, some interesting results have been found: (1) compared to the Internet public opinions without government intervention, the ...

This paper considers the problem of trade-off between including theoretically required elements against excluding irrelevant levels of complexity, one difficult dilemma that all ABSS practitioners must cope with. Social scientists finds hard to code even the most simple artificial societies, while they are expected to consider all kind of social complexity. It is argued that there exists hetero...

Unplanned disruptive events and disturbances such as arrivals of rush orders or machine breakdowns must be managed locally to avoid propagating the effects along the value chain. To overcome the traditional separation between task scheduling and manufacturing execution systems the novel idea of emergent synthesis/control of schedules for better handling the dynamics at the shop-floor is propose...

This paper presents the design of a development platform integrating NetLogo, a multiagent programmable modeling environment with the Mathematica scientific computing environment. We will discuss the affordances of such environments, which can simplify and enrich the research process for agent-based modelers. More specifically, we will demonstrate the advantages of having real-time exchange of ...

We offer a proof system and a NetLogo simulation for trust and distrust in networks where contradictory information is shared by ranked lazy and sceptic agents. Trust and its negative are defined as properties of edges: the former is required when a message is passed bottom-up in the hierarchy or received by a sceptic agent; the latter is attributed to channels that require contradiction resolu...

Agility of the supply chain is one of the main challenges in organizations which acting in a dynamic and complex environment, which they have to be able to answer to customers quickly. But the agility of supply chain is influenced by different agents. Using the model based on agent, this study has tried to simulate the agility of supply chain in an institute of higher education. There are three...

Neste trabalho, temos a intenção de contribuir com o debate na área economia e finanças comportamentais ao realizar um estudo sobre comportamento do mercado acionário incluirmos viés aversão à perda aos agentes que ali operam. Para tanto, apresentamos modelo baseado em aplicado foi programado NetLogo, cujo método é, parte, modelos já programados para mercados financeiros artificiais e, mesmo te...

The development of citizenship competences plays an important role in a complex system like society. Thus, to analyze how such impact other contexts is great challenge because this kind study involves the work with people and use variables that depend on human behaviors. In sense, many studies have highlighted advantage using simulation systems tools. particular, agent-based social field relies...
