The tMANS project is developing software using a unique 5-level, multi-scale agent-based modeling approach. Agent-based modeling offers significant advantages over "equation-based" modeling for this
purpose: heterogeneity is better represented, modeling is more intuitive for non-specialists, simulations can reveal emergent behaviors, definition of agents may explicitly encompass other upper-and lower-level agents,
and model techniques can be applied without prior knowledge of interactions among agents. |
