The tutorial observes the theoretical and practical basics of multi-agent simulation modeling of dynamic systems of various physical and social nature. It introduces the concept of intelligent agent as a simulator of an active element’s behavior in challenging situations and its interaction strategies to accomplish a purpose. It also describes the algorithms of agents' behavior under different conditions, its technologies to identify and predict the multi-agent systems’ state, and software model implementation in Simplex3 Simulation System.
The book is intended for Bachelor and Master students in information and computer science focusing on automated data processing and control systems, and is recommended for systems analysts and decision support software developers.
