Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation with Swarm

hellow

is just a book about multi-agent systems. i am not sur if it meet with your expectations.

good luck

I suggest this paper: http://www.aaai.org/ojs/index.php/aimagazine/article/view/2425

This book contains a ten-step process for agent-based modelling of 'socio-technical systems': http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9789400749320

I suggest introductory survey papers by Axtell and/or Epstein (one is accessible through a link), "Simulation for the social scientist" by Nigel Gilbert, so to start. If you're interested in an informatics perspective I've also authored a paper in JASSS (also linked) and held a tutorial in a summer school a few years ago (slides on slideshare).

I'd say that deeper discussions depend on the kind of context you want to study with agent-based modeling...

Sincerely

Giuseppe

Hi, if you are interested on how to design MAS, I think one of the most updated books about agent-oriented design processes is: 

Handbook on Agent-Oriented Design Processes

Editors: Cossentino, M., Hilaire, V., Molesini, A., Seidita, V. 

Springer

2014

I like L. Sterling and K. Taveter. The Art of Agent-Oriented Modeling. The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA., London, England, 2009.

Railsback, S. et V. Grimm (2011). Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling : A

Practical Introduction. Princeton University Press. 352 p.

isbn : 0691136742.

My suggestion is "Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation", by Klügl & Bazzan in AI Magazine 33(3):

http://www.aaai.org/ojs/index.php/aimagazine/article/view/2425

I recommend the following if you are looking to build agent-based models:

• Complex Adaptive Systems: An Introduction to Computational Models of Social Life (Princeton Studies in Complexity) by John H. Miller, Scott E. Page
• Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling: A Practical Introduction by Steven F. Railsback
• An introduction to Agent-Based Modelling by Uri Wilensky
• Modeling and Simulation of Complex Systems: A Framework for Efficient Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation by Robert Siegfried

For general interest:

• Micromotives and Macrobehavior by Thomas C. Schelling
• Hidden Order: How Adaptation Builds Complexity by John Holland
• Complexity: The Emerging Science at the Edge of Order and Chaos by M. Mitchell Waldrop
• Turtles, Termites, and Traffic Jams: Explorations in Massively Parallel Microworlds by Mitchel Resnick
• A New Kind of Science by Stephen Wolfram
• An Introduction to MultiAgent Systems by Michael Wooldridge

1. Agent-Based and Individual-Based modeling: A Practical Introduction

2. An introduction to agent based modeling by Uri Wilensky

I find Agent-Based Modelling and Geographical Information Systems: A Practical Primer very good.

My favorite is "An Introduction to Agent-Based Modeling: Modeling Natural, Social, and Engineered Complex Systems with NetLogo." It's really useful if you are using NetLogo.

1. An introduction to agent based modeling by Uri Wilensky

Assalamu alaikum and dear Ahmad,

Could you assist with the book you mentioned please if you have its softcopy?

Thank you.
