Using agent-based modelling to understand social phenomena

Written by
Professor Shigeaki Ogibayashi uses a novel agent-based modelling system to build a bottom-up modelling system to evaluate the causal mechanisms in social phenomena, such as bullying

Agent-based modelling (ABM) is used to understand the behaviour of a system and establish what governs its outcomes. Professor Shigeaki Ogibayashi, from the Chiba Institute of Technology, Japan, proposes that, if the agent-based model is constructed entirely bottom-up, it should be possible to build a model where the causal relationship emerging from the artificial society is the same as that […]
