Agent-Based Social Simulation and PSO

2013
Consumer's behavior can be modeled using a utility function that allows for measuring the $emphsuccess of an individual's decision, which consists of a tuple of goods an individual would like to buy and the hours of work necessary to pay for this purchase and consumption.

Swarm/evolutionary intelligence for agent-based social simulation

2014 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC), 2014
Several micro economic models allow to evaluate consumer's behavior using a utility function that is able to measure the success of an individual's decision. Such a decision may consist of a tuple of goods an individual would like to buy and hours of work necessary to pay for them.

Agent-based simulation analysis for social norms

2008 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, 2008
With existence of the social custom or norm, Naylor demonstrates a possibility of stable long-run equilibria of support for a strike in a labor market, and this implies that at least some individuals will behave cooperatively and hence the prisoners' dilemma could be escaped.

Social Epistemology and Validation in Agent-Based Social Simulation

Philosophy & Technology, 2021
The literature in agent-based social simulation suggests that a model is validated when it is shown to ‘successfully’, ‘adequately’ or ‘satisfactorily’ represent the target phenomenon. The notion of ‘successful’, ‘adequate’ or ‘satisfactory’ representation, however, is both underspecified and difficult to generalise, in part, because practitioners use ...

(Social) Norms and Agent-Based Simulation

2012
This chapter aims to identify the main relevant steps in the evolution of (social) norms as well as some of the factors or determinants of such a process and to discuss the most urgent scientific tasks to be fulfilled within a community of scientists committed to the study of norms.

A Swarm Simulation Platform for Agent-Based Social Simulations

2011
The social sciences have long employed simulations and statistical models in their research methodology as testing and validation tools. Recent advances in complex networks have produced a set of new graph-based tools with which to study and characterize larges-scale, complex social data.

Agent-Based Social Simulations

2014
We start with a brief introduction to complex systems. Then we briefly review the so-called cellular automata, of which the Game of Life is just one fascinating example. After that we shift attention towards a special kind of computational models called agent-based models, that can be seen as natural extensions of cellular automata.

Multi Agent Based Simulation: Beyond Social Simulation

2000
Multi Agent Based Simulation (MABS) has been used mostly in purely social contexts. However, compared to other approaches, e.g., traditional discrete event simulation, object-oriented simulation and dynamic micro simulation, MABS has a number of interesting properties which makes it useful also for other domains.

Business Applications of Social Agent-Based Simulation

Advances in Complex Systems, 2000
Agent-based simulation is a powerful simulation modeling technique that has seen a number of applications in the last five years, including applications to real-world business problems. In this chapter I introduce agent-based simulation and review three applications to business problems: a theme park simulation, a stock market simulation, and a ...
