Agent-based Modeling Reference List: Pre-2009 Bonabeau, E. Agent Based Modeling: Methods and Techniques for Simulation Human Systems. PNAS, May 14, 2002, Vol. 99. Suppl. 3.
Abstract - Agent-based modeling is a powerful simulation modeling technique that has seen a number of applications in the last few years, including applications to real-world business problems. After the basic principles of agent-based simulation are briefly introduced, its four areas of application are discussed by using real-world applications: flow simulation, organizational simulation, market simulation, and diffusion simulation. For each category, one or several business applications are described and analyzed. http://www.pnas.org/content/99/suppl_3/7280.full
