Multi-agent systems have been attracting attention as an approach to analyzing systems based on human decision-making, such as social phenomena (complex systems).
Using multi-agent systems, dynamically changing entities such as societies can be represented by defining behavioral rules for autonomous humans (agents) and their interactions, enabling artificial societies to be analyzed within the computer.
artisoc is a multi-agent simulation platform whose intuitive controllability allows ideas to be rapidly incorporated into models.
Smooth model building
Results of executed simulations can be obtained quickly by going through just three broad steps.
With regard to the hitherto complicated configuration of simulation models and the output and display of simulation results, artisoc basically allows settings to be made easily using the GUI, permitting the model designer to focus on constructing the original model.
