About this title

Synopsis

The numerous non-linear interactions of sub-components in complex systems give rise to emergent behaviors identifiable at a global level. This book is an essential hands-on guide to building agent-based models with potential applications in a range of sectors.

From the Back Cover

Complex Systems are made up of numerous interacting sub-components. Non-linear interactions of these components or agents give rise to emergent behavior observable at the global scale. Agent-based modeling
and simulation is a proven paradigm which has previously been used for effective computational modeling of complex systems in various domains. Because of its popular use across different scientific domains, research in agent-based modeling has primarily been
vertical in nature.
The goal of this book is to provide a single hands-on guide to developing cognitive agent-based models for the exploration of emergence across various types of complex systems. We present practical ideas and
examples for researchers and practitioners for the building of agent-based models using a horizontal approach - applications are demonstrated in a number of exciting domains as diverse as wireless sensors networks, peer-to-peer networks, complex social systems,
research networks and epidemiological HIV.
