Description: How Do I Develop an Agent-based Model?, Paperback by Secchi, Davide, ISBN 1839105216, ISBN-13 9781839105210, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This clear and coherent book introduces agent-based modelling (ABM) to those who are not familiar with nor have been previously exposed to computational simulation. Featuring examples, cases and models, th illustrates how ABM can, and should, be considered as a useful approach and technique for the study of management and organisational systems. Davide Secchi begins by explaining what ABM has to offer as opposed to other techniques, emphasising its suitability to the study of complex social systems. While dissecting the core components of the approach, he introduces key elements and mechanisms with a practice oriented approach rather than insisting solely on logic and theory. With an emphasis on applications and using examples from NetLogo — one of the most widely used agent-based software platforms — th guides the reader through a step-by-step process on how to develop a computational simulation. Featuring a hands-on applied approach that makes a difficult topic easy for non-modellers, How Do I Develop an Agent-Based Model? will be a key resource for business and management Masters-level students embarking on a dissertation project. It will also be a useful reference for PhD students in the field, as well as a starting point for academics who would like to begin using ABM in their research.
