This paper presents our experiment in applying agent-based modeling to an evaluation scenario. It is based on a real evaluation, although we had to add quite a bit to flesh out the details needed to build the executable model. It’s a small-scale exercise that we hope will provide a sense of how agent-based modeling differs from equation-based modeling, and why the agent-based approach provides unique knowledge that would otherwise be unavailable.
Social Causality with Agents Using Multiple Perspectives — the Movie
I have a few blog posts on a modeling methodology called SCAMP (Social Causality with Agents Using Multiple Perspectives). Simulation Using Events and Goals – A New Approach to Agent-based Modeling Social Causality with Agents using Multiple Perspectives: A Novel Approach to Understanding Network-based Social Phenomena SCAMP is different because it models events and relationships … Continue reading Social Causality with Agents Using Multiple Perspectives — the Movie
Simulation Using Events and Goals – A New Approach to Agent-based Modeling
The computer science of SCAMP drew me in, but what really interested me was its novel approach to modeling social phenomena. SCAMP looks at network-based phenomena in ways that traditional networking does not.
Social Causality with Agents using Multiple Perspectives: A Novel Approach to Understanding Network-based Social Phenomena
SCAMP is a network-based scenario-simulation methodology whose runs can reveal new understanding about known topics of research, and also, reveal hitherto unrealized research questions. SCAMP has this capacity because it treats networks in novel ways.
