Introduction:

What is ABS (Agent-Based Simulation)?

Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a computational method that simulates the interactions and behaviors of
individual agents, which can represent individuals, groups, or entities, to understand complex phenomena.

How it works
Components:

 Agents: Autonomous entities with individual characteristics, goals, and behaviors that may adapt
or learn over time based on interactions or experiences.
 Environment: The virtual space where agents operate.
 Rules of Interaction: Specify how agents interact with each other and their environment.

Tools and Platforms:

 NetLogo: User-friendly, often used for teaching and research.


 AnyLogic: Combines ABS with system dynamics and discrete-event simulation.
 Repast: A powerful platform for developing large-scale agent-based models.
 MATLAB and Python: General-purpose programming tools with libraries for ABS (e.g., Mesa in
Python).

Examples:

 NetLogo
 python

Applications:

Agent-based models have been used since the mid-1990s to solve a variety of problems. For example:
