Informatics Seminar (Perspective in Informatics 4B) 2011 - 2012
November 17 (Thu), 14:45 - 16:15
- Place:
Lecture Hall 1, Faculty of Engineering Bldg. No.10, Main Campus
- Title:
Agent-Based Models
- Speaker:
Alexis Drogoul (Kyoto University)
- Abstract:
Agent based modeling (ABM) and simulation techniques are now used in a number of domains, ranging from social sciences, ecology or biology to exact sciences like physics. They provide modelers with the ability to understand and reproduce, through virtual experiments, the emergence of nearly any kind of macro-structure or macro-dynamics from the interactions of lower level computer programs called agents. As these agents can be programmed with all the details required and can arbitrarily cover any level of representation, ABM undeniably represents one of the most versatile approaches to understanding complex systems through simulation. The emergence of ABM as one of the mainstream modeling technologies dates back from almost twenty years and this presentation will provide some insights into its background, history, achievements and future research opportunities.
