Agent Based Modelling …Why bother? – a new and growing field Bibliography on software agents URL: liinwww.ira.uka.de/bibliography/Ai/software.agents.html

StarLogo StarLogo is a programmable modeling environment for exploring the behaviors of decentralized systems, systems without leaders. Examples of these systems in our everyday life include bird flocks, traffic jams, and ant colonies. In decentralized systems, orderly patterns can arise without centralized control. Increasingly, researchers are choosing decentralized models for the organizations and technologies that they construct in the world, and for the theories that they construct about the world. But many people continue to resist these ideas, assuming centralized control where none exists -- for example, assuming (incorrectly) that bird flocks have leaders. StarLogo is designed to help students (as well as researchers) develop new ways of thinking about and understanding decentralized systems.

Concepts 1: Agent Based Modelling

Different Views on Agent Topologies Concepts 2:

Agent Properties Concepts 3:

The idea of emergence is used to indicate the arising of patterns, structures, or properties that do not seem to be adequately explained by referring only to the systems pre-existing components and their interaction. Concepts 4: Exploring Emergence

Organizations of agents Animate agents Data Artificial world Observer Inanimate agents If then else If then else Bottom-Up Modelling Concepts 5:
