Agent Based Literature

Here is some literature about the Agent Based Modelling approach.

"When researchers want to study a particular phenomenon, they have several strategies. They can collect data on this phenomenon and study it using statistical tools, they can conduct experiments, and finally they can create an artificial reproduction of the phenomenon using a simulation. ABM is a simulation technique that represents explicit entities and behaviors in a program (Railsback and Grimm 2011). Agent-based models are composed of autonomous entities, called agents, operating in an environment interacting and organizing themselves (Treuil, Drogoul, and Zucker 2008). Such agents have attributes, behaviors, and capabilities of perception and communication. These agents might represent a multitude of phenomena ranging from the particle and cell to individuals or groups. ABM are characterized by their complexity, their dynamic, heterogeneous and multiscale" from Grignard, A., & Drogoul, A. (2017).
