Three themes which we see essential ABM are then outlined, namely question detail versus model data parsimony represents former, questions validation that flow from this, lastly issues about extent is a generic or specific style terms applications. We examine essence such models way behaviour modelled using various rules, discuss technical as computation, visualization, error, schemes design. All sets chapters follow. conclude explaining briefly what contained each guiding best use
