A Proposed Model for Generic Agent-Based Simulation

Abstract

—Agent-based modeling and simulation had been a simulation approach implemented in application domains such as economy, infrastructure and social sciences since the past decade. The approach was implemented mostly in ad-hoc or domainspecific basis which caused a number of limitations. For instance, the nature of ad-hoc or domain-specific is meant to be used by a single research due to propriety issue. This caused the simulation model was not able to be reused in other research in similar application domain and validation of simulation results through replication could not be done. This paper proposed a model of generic agent-based simulation, which addresses to the limitations that caused handicaps for the past research works.
