摘要
基于Agent的建模与仿真方法被应用到社会科学研究领域形成了基于Agent的社会学仿真这一新的交叉研究领域。研究的目标是在计算机上创建一个人工社会来观察个体交互涌现的社会现象。人工社会是一个复杂的多Agent模型。在简单回顾了社会学仿真发展历史之后,对人工社会模型的复杂度进行了探讨,并将多Agent模型与其他社会学仿真模型进行了比较研究。基于Agent的社会学仿真目前还缺少公认的方法学流程,提出了一个人工社会的概念模型,并探索了人工社会模型的构建流程。最后对基于Agent的社会学仿真方法的适用范围进行了讨论。
Agent based modeling and simulation is being applied in many areas of social science, so - called agent-based social simulation. Its aim is to build an artificial society, that is, a complex multi-agent model consists of social entities in which social phenomena emerging from the interaction of individuals can be observed. After a brief review of the history of social simulation, the complexity of artificial society model is discussed. A multi-agent model is then illustrated comparing with other social simulation models. There is a lack of acknowledged methodology for Agent based social simulation. A concept model of artificial society is presented in this paper. The methodology of building an artificial society model is also explored. In the end, the application areas of Agent based social simulation are discussed.
