RE: About Multi-Agent Systems...seeking advice

Hi Yang,

 

You may want to take a look at the electronic Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation (JASSS):

http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/JASSS.html

 

which should contain some papers which may interest you.

 

In terms of the choice of simulation software, there are quite a lot of platforms out there as you've probably realised. A report on software products for multi-agent systems is available from AgentLink (a European Network of Excellence for Agent-based Computing):

Finally, good luck

Julie

Objet : About Multi-Agent Systems...seeking advice

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm a doctoral student who is looking at using multi-agent (MA) in examining urban issues such as tax policies. I'm very new to this area of work and have no prior experience with MA.My interests were aroused through reading several papers written on MA's application especially in the social science realm.

 

Is there anyone out there who has the time to share with me his/her experience and perhaps advise me on how I should go about doing my first simulation? I've some familiarity with Visual Basic and am currently studying Java.  

 

Thank you for your time.

 

Regards

Yang
