Why Agent-Based Modeling? Part I

An overview of Agent-Based Modeling. Based on presentations I've given at Swarmfest and the Eclipse Modeling Day. For more, see my blog articles starting with: http://milesparker.blogspot.com/2009/05/agent-based-model-for-influenza-h1n1..... For more on AMP, see: http://eclipse.org/amp. Special thanks to Aatos Beck for allowing me to include the beautiful butterfly image -- he holds all rights to that image.

what i don't understand is ... what isn't agent based modeling?

I"m writing a paper. and to do so i've been trying to find what it isn't. Really... it's everywhere

I share you belief believe that agent-Based Models are the most direct way to represent reality. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with us! So you need to distinguish what is being represented from the tools being used to represent it. And in the latter case, very few people use ABMs to model systems, most use traditional equation-based approaches.

Thanks Simone! I used KeyNote for the whole thing, believe it or not. A lot of objects! I did the screencast using Screenflow. If I had it to do again, I'd edit the audio more. :)
