Analyzing transportation mode interactions using agent-based models [PDF]
Traffic in urban areas contributes significantly to congestion and air pollution, which contributes to climate change issues and causes economic losses and fuel wastage.

Agent-Based Models and Individualism: Is the World Agent-Based? [PDF]
Agent-based models (ABMs) are an increasingly popular tool in the social sciences. This trend seems likely to continue, so that they will become widely used in geography and in urban and regional planning. We present an overview of examples of these models in the life sciences, economics, planning, sociology, and archaeology.

Agent-Based Model Exploration [PDF]
The previous chapters have allowed us to introduce the basics of agent-based model creation with NetLogo. This has resulted in a model such as the one used in our running example. Once the model has been built, the aim is to manipulate it in such a way that new knowledge about the modeled phenomenon can be created.

Voter-like Dynamics with Conflicting Preferences on Modular Networks
Two of the main factors shaping an individual’s opinion are social coordination and personal preferences, or personal biases. To understand the role of those and that of the topology of the network of interactions, we study an extension of the voter ...

Agent-based modeling has been used to characterize the nested control loops and nonlinear dynamics associated with inflammatory and immune responses, particularly as a means of visualizing putative mechanistic hypotheses.

Agent‐Based Modeling and Simulation
This article gives an introduction to agent‐based modeling and simulation (ABMS). After a general discussion about modeling and simulation, we address the basic concept of ABMS, focusing on its generative and bottom‐up nature, its advantages as well as its pitfalls.

A Framework for the Comparison of Agent-based Models. [PDF]
We develop a methodology for comparing agent-based models that are developed for the same domain, but may differ in the data sets (e.g., geographical regions) to which they are applied, and in the structure of the model. Our approach is to learn a response surface in the common parameter space of the models and compare the regions corresponding to ...

Agent-Based Models as “Interested Amateurs”
This paper proposes the use of agent-based models (ABMs) as “interested amateurs” in policy making, and uses the example of the SWAP model of soil and water conservation adoption to demonstrate the potential of this approach.
