Networks allow us to describe a wide range of interaction phenomena that occur in complex
systems arising in such diverse fields of knowledge as neuroscience, engineering, ecology …

This chapter aims to contribute to the debate on the role of model-based approaches, such
as agent-based modelling, in the future of demography. First we call attention to the …

Agent-based models (ABMs) are increasingly being used for exploring and supporting

consists of a set of agents characterized by demographic and socio-economic attributes …

In this paper we present an agent-based model of a human population, designed to illustrate
the potential synergies between demography and agent-based social simulation. In the …

Future climate change is expected to have greater impacts on societies whose livelihoods
rely on subsistence agricultural systems. Adaptation is essential for mitigating adverse …
