Paper Abstract:
|
Agent-based modeling (ABM) approaches to the study of complex adaptive systems have offered researchers in both the physical and social sciences an important new theoretical and methodological framework for helping to understand a variety of nonlinear, dynamic systems. Many simulators have sought to enhance available simulation tools and computational capabilities by providing additional functionalities and formal modeling facilities. However, the reusability of simulation models have not been discussed much for the ABM simulator, even though the reusability is one of the key concerns in software engineering. Software reuse is the process of creating software systems from existing software rather than building them from scratch. The problem in the current ABM simulators is inheritance style object-oriented programing model that explicitly/implicitly underlays the agent modeling process. This paper proposes a concept of component-oriented modeling approach for ABM and the implemented toolsets. We will also discuss the efficiency of our proposed approach in terms of reusability in comparison with existing ABMs. |
