An approach to modelling city-scale artificial society based-on organization metaphor
Mingsheng Tang, Xinjun Mao, Huiping Zhou, Xueyan Tan · 2012
Complexity issues in the real world cannot be completely solved by experiments on the real society. ACP approach (Artificial society for modelling, Computations experiment for analysis and Parallel execution for control) has been proposed to solve to eliminate the gap of micro-to-macro emergent behaviours. Artificial society modelling is the consitituent of the ACP approach. However, there are no widely accepted and well-established methods to conduct and standardize artificial society modelling. This paper describes the main aspects of artificial society modelling, including agent population, environment and event. Based on the social organization metaphor, it presents an artificial society modelling approach, including the modelling process. This approach can effectively aid and guide artificial society modelling.
