Many Agent-Simulation and Artificial Life

摘要: This work provides an overview of the theoretical, as well practical, aspects involved in study and implementation many-agent simulation models. The model presented here is based on idea that programs exhibit behaviours entirely described by their internal mechanisms, namely program instructions. By relating individual to a program, it possible achieve artificial world inhabited interacting processes. It possible, then, transposing population real system this counterpart which particular hypotheses can be explored repeating experiments same way laboratory, but more easily. Each member then represented agent whose behaviour programmed with all required details. Many-agent simulations therefore primarily help situations individuals have complex different behaviours, while taking into account both quantitative (numerical parameters) qualitative (individual behaviours) properties system.
