What’s ABMS? 什么是ABMS？

Agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) is an approach to modeling systems comprised of individual, autonomous, interacting “agents.”

What’s the structure of an ABM? ABM的结构是什么？

A typical agent-based model has three elements:

1. Agents, their attributes and behaviors. (features: Autonomy\ Modularity \ Sociality \ Conditionality )

   

2. Agent relationships and methods of interaction. An underlying topology of connectedness defines
   how and with whom agents interact.

The primary issues of modeling agent in
