Agent-Based Modeling: Introduction and Perspective

摘要：

Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) is a cutting-edge technique to understand various social phenomena. ABM is characterized by the points that: (1) computer simulation with software agents, which are equipped with internal states, decision rules, and information exchange mechanisms, (2) micro level interactions of agents, macro level emergent phenomena, and micromacro links among them, and (3) new principles for design and analyses of social complex systems in the real world. However, the importance of the modeling methodology has not been common yet even in the academic societies. The paper discusses the principles, strength, and weakness of ABM. The paper also describes our recent research results. They include such social system task domains as behavioral finance, social interactions among group of people, emergence of money, and history simulation.
