The Ethics of Agent-Based Social Simulation

open access: yesJournal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 2022
The academic study and the applied use of agent-based modelling of social processes has matured considerably over the last thirty years. The time is now right to engage seriously with the ethics and responsible practice of agent-based social simulation. In this paper, we first outline the many reasons why it is appropriate to explore an ethics of agent-

Networks in Agent-Based Social Simulation [PDF]

open access: yesAgent-Based Models of Geographical Systems, 2011
Computational social science and in particular agent-based social simulation continue to gain momentum in the academic community. Social network analysis enjoys even more popularity. They both have much in common. In agent-based models, individual interactions are simulated to generate social patterns of all kinds, including relationships that can then

Agent-Based Social Simulation with Coalitions in Social Reasoning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
There is a growing belief that the agents' cognitive structures play a central role on the enhancement of predicative capacities of decision-making strategies. This paper analyses and simulates the construction of cognitive social structures in the process of decision making with multiple actors.

Using agent based simulation to empirically examine complexity in carbon footprint business process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Through the critical analysis of the extant literature, it is observed that Simulation is widely used as a research method in Natural Sciences, Engineering and Social Sciences, in addition to argumentation and formalisation as the third way of carrying ...

MAIA: a Framework for Developing Agent-Based Social Simulations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 2013
In this paper we introduce and motivate a conceptualization framework for agent-based social simulation, MAIA: Modelling Agent systems based on Institutional Analysis. The MAIA framework is based on Ostrom's Institutional Analysis and Development framework, and provides an extensive set of modelling concepts that is rich enough to capture a large range

Invariance and Universality in Social Agent-Based Simulations [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002
Agent-based simulation models have a promising future in the social sciences, from political science to anthropology, economics, and sociology. To realize their full scientific potential, however, these models must address a set of key problems, such as the number of interacting agents and their geometry, network topology, time calibration ...

Stochastic Agent-Based Simulations of Social Networks

open access: yesCoRR, 2013
The rapidly growing field of network analytics requires data sets for use in evaluation. Real world data often lack truth and simulated data lack narrative fidelity or statistical generality. This paper presents a novel, mixed-membership, agentbased simulation model to generate activity data with narrative power while providing statistical diversity ...

Agent-Based Social Simulation for Policy Making

open access: yes, 2023
In agent-based social simulations (ABSS), an artificial population of intelligent agents that imitate human behavior is used to investigate complex phenomena within social systems. This is particularly useful for decision makers, where ABSS can provide a sandpit for investigating the effects of policies prior to their implementation.
