Agent based modeling framework in simulation of stakeholder's behavior for managing water resources
Author(s):
Abstract:
Application of agent based model in simulation of stakeholders behavior is slightly a new method for modeling of complicated systems that include autonomous agents interacting with each other. Recent numerical achievements have made the applications of agent based models possible in various fields. These applications range from modeling of human progress and destruction of past civilizations to modeling of complexities in water resources/consumption systems. In this article foundation of agent based modeling is defined, related tools in this field is introduced and their application in water resources management is clarified. The use of such models provides social interactions simulation. Integration of such simulation models with water resources simulation models helps to make and improve the reliability of decision support systems in water resources management.
