Integrating Agent Models and Dynamical Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 4897))

Abstract

Agent-based modelling approaches are usually based on logical languages, whereas in many areas dynamical system models based on differential equations are used. This paper shows how to model complex agent systems, integrating quantitative, numerical and qualitative, logical aspects, and how to combine logical and mathematical analysis methods.
