Agent-Based Simulation: Social Science Simulation and Beyond
Emma Norling, Franziska Klügl
This course will provide an overview of agent-based simulation in general, with agent-based social simulation as a particular focus. We will look at the types of applications and domains for which agent-based simulation can be useful, and illustrate this with a series of examples. We will then use these examples to explore a range of conceptual issues including the link between individual and group behaviour, complexity, level of detail, and size and scalability as well as a number of technical details size and scalability again, assumptions and sensitivity, and validation and verification. Finally, we will conclude with a summary of tools available for agent-based simulation.
