The Schelling Model of Ethnic Residential Dynamics: Beyond the Integrated - Segregated Dichotomy of Patterns

Hatna, Erez; Benenson, Itzhak - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 15 (2012) 1, pp. 6-6

The Schelling model of segregation is an agent-based model that illustrates how individual tendencies regarding … neighbors can lead to segregation. The model is especially useful for the study of residential segregation of ethnic groups … either complete integration (a random-like pattern) or segregation. The study of high-resolution ethnic residential patterns …

From Schelling to Schools: A Comparison of a Model of Residential Segregation with a Model of School Segregation

Stoica, Victor Ionut; Flache, Andreas - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 17 (2014) 1, pp. 5-5

€˜self-organizedâ€™ unintended residential segregation may also apply to school segregation. We propose here a computational model of school … segregation that is aligned with a corresponding Schelling-type model of residential segregation. To adapt the model for … application to school segregation, we move beyond previous work by combining two preference arguments in modeling parentsâ …

A Framework for Megascale Agent Based Model Simulations on Graphics Processing Units

Lysenko, Mikola; D'Souza, Roshan M. - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 11 (2008) 4, pp. 10-10

Agent-based modeling is a technique for modeling dynamic systems from the bottom up. Individual elements of the system are represented computationally as agents. The system-level behaviors emerge from the micro-level interactions of the agents. Contemporary state-of-the-art agent-based modeling...

Tools of the Trade: A Survey of Various Agent Based Modeling Platforms

Nikolai, Cynthia; Madey, Gregory - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 12 (2009) 2, pp. 2-2

Agent Based Modeling (ABM) toolkits are as diverse as the community of people who use them. With so many toolkits available, the choice of which one is best suited for a project is left to word of mouth, past experiences in using particular toolkits and toolkit publicity. This is especially...

Social Preference, Incomplete Information, and the Evolution of Ultimatum Game in the Small World Networks: An Agent-Based Approach

Xianyu, Bo - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 13 (2010) 2, pp. 7-7

Certain social preference models have been proposed to explain fairness behavior in experimental games. Existing bodies of research on evolutionary games, however, explain the evolution of fairness merely through the self-interest agents. This paper attempts to analyze the ultimatum game's...
