From The Economist print edition
Artificial "agents" can model complex systems
THEY certainly cannot be faulted for a lack of ambition. The
scientists and engineers who gathered this week in Oxford for the
first International Workshop on Complex Agent-Based Dynamic Networks
are seeking to explain much of the world's behaviour through the use
of "agents". In this context, an agent is a program that acts in a
self-interested manner in its dealings with numerous other agents
inside a computer. This arrangement can mimic almost any interactive
system: a stockmarket; a habitat; even a business supply-chain. If the
constituent parts can be understood, the reasoning goes, some insight
into the whole will follow.
