Agent-based models (ABMs) are one of the most effective and successful methods for
analyzing real-world complex systems by investigating how modeling interactions on the …

Due to the growing number of emergency accidents occurring around students, evacuation
issues have become significantly important for both school officials and architects. Simply …

As high-performance computing resources have become increasingly available, new modes
of computational processing and experimentation have become possible. This tutorial …

In this paper we examine the epistemic value of highly idealized agent-based models
(ABMs) of social aspects of scientific inquiry. On the one hand, we argue that taking the …

Increasingly, researchers share climate information as narratives to support decision-making
and public action. In these contexts, however, scientists remain the focal storytellers. This …

The generative approach to social science, in which agent‐based simulations (or other
complex systems models) are executed to reproduce a known social phenomenon, is an …

A primary goal of earthquake engineering is to protect society from the possible negative
consequences of future earthquakes. Conventionally, this goal has been achieved indirectly …

Objective: To design a framework for creating computational models that support the
understanding of emergent mechanisms for non-communicable diseases. Scope: The …

Currently, only few agent-based models are implemented with a continuous representation
of time, although state-of-the-art agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) frameworks …

From inmates in prison gangs to soldiers in elite units, the intimidating reputation of groups
often precedes its members. While individual reputation is known to affect people's …
