Learning Tools for Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation

Abstract

In this project report, we describe ongoing research on supporting the development of agent-based simulation models. The vision is that the agents themselves should learn their (individual) behavior model, instead of letting a human modeler test which of the many possible agent-level behaviors leads to the correct macro-level observations. To that aim, we integrate a suite of agent learning tools into SeSAm, a fully visual platform for agent-based simulation models. This integration is the focus of this contribution.
