摘要：Recent ABMs provide compelling accounts of group pattern formation, contagion and cooperation, and can be used to predict, manipulate and improve upon collective behavior. In this paper ABM describes interactions among individual agents and their environment, and provides a process oriented alternative to descriptive mathematical models. Different situations and systems are characterized by the presence of autonomous entities whose local behaviors (actions and interactions) determine the evolution of the overall system. Agent-Based models are particularly suited to support the definition of models of such systems and also to support the design and implementation olators.
