Complex organizations exhibit surprising, nonlinear behavior. Although organization
scientists have studied complex organizations for many years, a developing set of …

The use of computer simulation for building theoretical models in social science is
introduced. It is proposed that agent-based models have potential as a “third way” of …

Methodological Guidelines for Modeling and Developing MAS-Based Simulations The
intersection of agents, modeling, simulation, and application domains has been the subject …

Este trabajo compara dos técnicas de modelado de sistemas complejos: la simulación
basada en agentes y la dinámica de sistemas. Esta comparación se lleva a cabo dentro del …

Agent-based simulation modeling enables the construction of formal models that
simultaneously can be microvalidated against accounts of individual behavior and …

This article describes three agent-based social simulation models in the area of land-use
change using a model documentation protocol, ODD, from the ecological literature. Our goal …

As the number of computing devices embedded into engineered systems continues to rise,
there is a widening gap between the needs of the user to control aggregates of devices and …

A component-based generic agent architecture for multi-attribute (integrative) negotiation is
introduced and its application is described in a prototype system for negotiation about cars …

This chapter discusses the intersection between two research fields:(1) Multi-Agent Systems
(MAS) and (2) computer simulation. On the one hand, MAS refer to a computer research …

Current approaches to deal with the socio-economic implications of climate change rely
heavily on economic models that compare costs and benefits of different measures. We …
