Agent-Directed Simulation and Systems Engineering

Front Cover
Levent Yilmaz, Tuncer Ören
Wiley, Nov 4, 2009 - Technology & Engineering - 600 pages
The only book to present the synergy between modeling and simulation, systems engineering, and agent technologies expands the notion of agent-based simulation to also deal with agent simulation and agent-supported simulation. Accessible to both practitioners and managers, it systematically addresses designing and building agent systems from a systems engineering perspective.
