Una breve revisión del Modelado y Simulación basados en agentes

Abstract

Agent Based Modeling is a relatively new approach to simulating socio economic systems.
Its main advantage is the use of entities called agents to model a system in order to study the behaviour and, most important, the emergent properties of it. Agents often represent people, animals, companies, natural entities, etc., and could be in a wide range from totally autonomous to basically reactive. The programming of agents using decision rules o life cycles makes the approach more versatile and flexible.
This article shows the basic concepts underlying the agent based modeling, its advantages and disadvantages, as well as, the wide range of application of it.
