It is argued that HM requires cross-disciplinary research engagement and a conceptual framework that supports the collaboration of research efforts from multiple disciplines, allowing them to grow into transdisciplinary research.
How can social–ecological system models simulate the emergence of social–ecological crises?
- Environmental SciencePeople and Nature

It is argued that model types associated with HM (D, D.1, E), with its focus on OR/MS and cross-disciplinary research, are particularly well-placed in driving innovation in the theory and practice of M&S.
An Agent-Based Simulation API for Speculative PDES Runtime Environments
- Computer ScienceSIGSIM-PADS
- 2019
This paper discusses a semantically-rich API allowing to implement Agent-Based Models in a simple and effective way, and presents an experimental assessment showing how this proposal allows to implement complicated interactions with a reduced complexity, while delivering a non-negligible performance increase.

When Demography Met Social Simulation: A Tale of Two Modelling Approaches
- EconomicsJ. Artif. Soc. Soc. Simul.
- 2013
This work is based on earlier attempts to introduce agent-based modelling to demography, but extends them into a multi-level and multi-state framework, and argues that the approach— although not fully predictive per se—has four important advantages.
Introduction: Agent-Based Computational Demography
- Biology
- 2003
This introductory chapter argues that in order to study human populations, agent-based approaches are particularly useful from various theoretical perspectives and urges demographers and other scholars interested in population studies to look at Agent-Based Computational Demography (ABCD) as a promising stream of research, which can improve the understanding of demographic behavior.
Pandora: A versatile agent-based modelling platform for social simulation

This paper advocates the application of parallel simulation in population dynamics which is often used as the basis for policy planning and analysis and shows that good event parallelism can be achieved.
Principles and Concepts of Agent-Based Modelling for Developing Geospatial Simulations
- Computer Science
- 2006
The aim of this paper is to outline fundamental concepts and principles of the Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) paradigm, with particular reference to the development of geospatial simulations, and explores the opportunity of linking a GIS with a simulation / modelling system purposely built, and therefore better suited to supporting the requirements of ABM.
