Agent-Based Modelling of Socio-Technical Systems, Paperback / softback Book

Agent-Based Modelling of Socio-Technical Systems Paperback / softback

Edited by Koen H. van Dam, Igor Nikolic, Zofia Lukszo

Part of the Agent-Based Social Systems series

Paperback / softback

Description

Decision makers in large scale interconnected network systems require simulation models for decision support.

The behaviour of these systems is determined by many actors, situated in a dynamic, multi-actor, multi-objective and multi-level environment.

How can such systems be modelled and how can the socio-technical complexity be captured?

Agent-based modelling is a proven approach to handle this challenge.

This book provides a practical introduction to agent-based modelling of socio-technical systems, based on a methodology that has been developed at TU Delft and which has been deployed in a large number of case studies.

The book consists of two parts: the first presents the background, theory and methodology as well as practical guidelines and procedures for building models.

In the second part this theory is applied to a number of case studies, where for each model the development steps are presented extensively, preparing the reader for creating own models.
