I. Theory and practice -- pt. II. Case studies.Decision makers in large scale interconnected network systems require simulation models for decision support. The behaviour of these systems is determined by many actors, situated in a dynamic, multi-actor, multi-objective and multi-level environment. How can such systems be modelled and how can the socio-technical complexity be captured? Agent-based modelling is a proven approach to handle this challenge. This book provides a practical introduction to agent-based modelling of socio-technical systems, based on a methodology that has been developed at Delft University of Technology and which has been deployed in a large number of case studies. The book consists of two parts: the first presents the background, theory and methodology as well as practical guidelines and procedures for building models. In the second part this theory is applied to a number of case studies, where for each model the development steps are presented extensively, preparing the reader for creating own models.Agent-Based Social Systems,1861-0803 ;9Social systemsComputer simulationTechnologySocial aspectsSocial systemsComputer simulation.TechnologySocial aspects.001.4/22Dam Koen H1751781Nikolic Igor1751782Lukszo Zofia1235933MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910437593503321Agent-based modelling of socio-technical systems4186900UNINA
