Abstract
Agent-based modeling is a computational simulating method which uses autonomous agents that live, move, and interact with each other on a virtual environment (world). In addition to capability of interacting with each other, the agents are capable of affecting and changing the world as well. Agent-based modeling is a great tool for researchers to define the initial properties of agents and environment and also rules of change and interaction and observe what would emerge from these interactions after a period of time is passed.
