After a discussion of the theory of software agents, this book presents IMPACT (Interactive Maryland Platform for Agents Collaborating Together), an experimental agent infrastructure that translates formal theories of agency into a functional multiagent system that can extend legacy software code and application-specific or legacy data structures.

This project presents an effort to establish theories and techniques of modeling, analyzing and controlling information dynamics and emergent behavior of heterogeneous-agent systems and demonstrate the application of these theories and techniques to heterogeneous-agent systems making up information supply networks. A heterogeneous-agent system is a Complex Adaptive System (CAS) involving a large collection of semi-autonomous agents. According to Complexity Theory for CAS, the aggregate system behavior of heterogeneous agents and their inter-connections emerges from the evolving local interactions of agents in a dynamically changing environment. A CAS best organizes from the bottom up through self-organization. We base the modeling of heterogeneous-agent systems on the innovative integration of three modeling paradigms: agent-based modeling, control-theoretic modeling, and stochastic discrete-event modeling. The model represents the physical, information and knowledge elements of each agent, which includes: fitness function, tagging, building blocks, internal model, dynamic resources and processes under the control of the agent, as well as the interaction of the agent with other agents and the environment. The analysis of heterogeneous-agent systems and their emergent behavior is based on the innovative application of non-linear time-series analysis techniques from chaos theory and nonlinear dynamical systems theory as well as multivariate statistical techniques to detect emergent states and temporal patterns. We base the control of heterogeneous-agent systems on the innovative bottom-up self-organization approach to coping with desirable and undesirable emergent states of heterogeneous-agent systems for system stability and robustness.

Economic application of nonlinear dynamics, microscopic agent-based modelling, and the use of artificial intelligence techniques as learning devices of boundedly rational actors are among the most exciting interdisciplinary ventures of economic theory over the past decade. This volume provides us with a most fascinating series of examples on "complexity in action" exemplifying the scope and explanatory power of these innovative approaches.

This book offers a practical guide to Agent Based economic modeling, adopting a “learning by doing” approach to help the reader master the fundamental tools needed to create and analyze Agent Based models. After providing them with a basic “toolkit” for Agent Based modeling, it present and discusses didactic models of real financial and economic systems in detail. While stressing the main features and advantages of the bottom-up perspective inherent to this approach, the book also highlights the logic and practical steps that characterize the model building procedure. A detailed description of the underlying codes, developed using R and C, is also provided. In addition, each didactic model is accompanied by exercises and applications designed to promote active learning on the part of the reader. Following the same approach, the book also presents several complementary tools required for the analysis and validation of the models, such as sensitivity experiments, calibration exercises, economic network and statistical distributions analysis. By the end of the book, the reader will have gained a deeper understanding of the Agent Based methodology and be prepared to use the fundamental techniques required to start developing their own economic models. Accordingly, “Economics with Heterogeneous Interacting Agents” will be of particular interest to graduate and postgraduate students, as well as to academic institutions and lecturers interested in including an overview of the AB approach to economic modeling in their courses.
