Agent-based Computational Modelling Applications in Demography, Social, Economic and Environmental Sciences

The present book describes the methodology to set up agent-based models and to study emerging patterns in complex adaptive systems resulting from multi-agent interaction. It offers the application of agent-based models in demography, social and economic sciences and environmental sciences. Examples include population dynamics, evolution of social norms, communication structures, patterns in eco-systems and socio-biology, natural resource management, spread of diseases and development processes. It presents and combines different approaches how to implement agent-based computational models and tools in an integrative manner that can be extended to other cases.Billari, Francesco is the author of 'Agent-based Computational Modelling Applications in Demography, Social, Economic and Environmental Sciences', published 2006 under ISBN 9783790816402 and ISBN 379081640X.
