Agent-based modeling is a powerful tool to perform simulations over heterogeneous, autonomous entities and, consequently, it can be used to analyze intrinsically emergent phenomena such as social networks. In the present work we present a meta-model that takes into account features of existing network models and describe an agent-based generation system built around such a meta-model. Our system is meant to provide a framework to ease the transition between analytic network models and newer agent-based models, where nodes are autonomous, pro-active and potentially learning agents.

Abstract: | Agent-based modeling is a powerful tool to perform simulations over heterogeneous, autonomous entities and, consequently, it can be used to analyze intrinsically emergent phenomena such as social networks. In the present work we present a meta-model that takes into account features of existing network models and describe an agent-based generation system built around such a meta-model. Our system is meant to provide a framework to ease the transition between analytic network models and newer agent-based models, where nodes are autonomous, pro-active and potentially learning agents. |
