Simulating Social Complexity : A Handbook / edited by Bruce Edmonds, Ruth Meyer.
This volume examines all aspects of using agent or individual-based simulation. This approach represents systems as individual elements having their own set of differing states and internal processes. The interactions between elements in the simulation represent interactions in the target systems. W...
