Agent-based (or individual-based) models (ABMs) are stochastic simulations built on interactions between individuals in a population (agents) or a set of populations and their environment. The modeler defines an ABM by identifying a set of autonomous agents, each defined by individual characteristics, who interact locally using adaptive behavior that is based ...
