Agent-based (simulation) modeling is one of the methods of studying complex systems, processes, and phenomena in various spheres of human activity: business, service, manufacturing, science, medicine, transport services, and logistics. In this study, a model is built – an approximation to a real object (system, process), especially in relation to the most important economic properties for the study. By experimenting with the model, you can extract indicators that are of interest for the functioning of the real enterprise system. Having obtained sufficiently stable statistics from these data, you can use it in the future for economic planning or forecasting, which is an essential tool for sustainable development in general.

The Creation

The task to research the enterprises when locating them in the new areas is posed and solved. The relevance of the problem is related to both moral and physical aging of production systems, which leads to the need for their modernization and reengineering. For the development of the enterprise, new areas are required to accommodate modern technological equipment. Due to the diversification of the company's activities and the appearance of new orders, it is advisable to place modern production lines with a high degree of automation in new areas. The requirements for the organization of new industries, taking into account the concept of Industry 4.0, have led to the creation of enterprises in the form of virtual industries focused on the creation of new innovative products. The aim of the work is to develop models for the rational location of virtual production in the new areas in conditions of limited enterprise capabilities. Due to the complexity of the problem being solved, the study is carried out in three stages: optimization of location on the earth's surface; creation of the communication infrastructure for virtual production; simulation of the virtual enterprise production cycle. The efficient location of virtual production is carried out using both local and multicriteria optimization. In order to create the communication infrastructure of the virtual enterprise the selection of the optimal route for highway laying is carried out. Simulation of the production cycle is carried out considering time delays and queues when performing technological operations. The new scientific result is the solution of the problem of virtual production system locating on the earth's surface, taking into account the proposed indicators and restrictions, which include the cost of land plots renting (acquiring), as well as the costs associated with earth and construction works. Mathematical methods were used: integer optimization, simulation modeling, agent-based modeling. Keywords: virtual enterprise, optimization of technological objects location, communication infrastructure of the enterprise, simulation modeling, agent-based modeling.

Subject. The research investigates key processes of urban life and its maintenance, including food supply, infrastructure, fire security, quality and accessibility of medical services, etc. The article also discusses the creation of a system supporting the Smart City decision-making process. Objectives. The research develops methods and tools to manage the Smart City system through system dynamics and agent-based modeling. Methods. Using simulation modeling, namely system dynamics and agent-based modeling (supported via Powersim and AnyLogic), we evaluate how multiple guiding parameters influence crucial characteristics of the Smart City system. Results. We devised an approach to designing the Smart City system through methods of system dynamics and agent-based modeling (supported via Powersim and AnyLogic) intended to streamline the decision making process for reasonable urban planning. Conclusions and Relevance. We propose the consolidated architecture of the Smart City decision-making system integrating the simulation models, data storage and city monitoring subsystem. The article describes the cases of simulation models implemented via Powersim and AnyLogic to support rational urban planning. The simulation models will significantly improve the quality of urban environment, satisfy the demand for food products, provide access to healthcare services and ensure effective rescue actions in case of emergency.

Specific Paper

Purpose This paper provides an overview of agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) and evaluates the questions that have been raised regarding the “assumptions and mechanisms used” by a well-cited paper that has used this methodology. Design/methodology/approach This work provides a review of agent-based simulation modeling and its capabilities to advance and test theory. The commentary then evaluates and addresses the raised questions and reservations. Findings Agent-based modeling offers unique capabilities that can be used to explore complex phenomena in business and marketing. Some of the raised reservations may be considered as directions for future research. However, the criticisms are for most part unsupported by existing research and do not undermine the contributions of the paper that is being discussed. Practical implications Given its relative novelty, reservations regarding agent-based simulation modeling are quite natural. Discussions like this one would bring together different points of view and lead to a better understanding of how using ABMS can benefit academia and industry. Originality/value This commentary is part of an intellectual dialogue that seeks to provide different points of view about agent-based simulation modeling using a specific paper as an example.

Complex Adaptive

HIV/AIDS spread depends upon complex patterns of interaction among various subsets emerging at population level. This added complexity makes it difficult to study and model AIDS and its dynamics. AIDS is therefore a natural candidate to be modeled using agent-based modeling, a paradigm well-known for modeling Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS). While agent-based models are well-known to effectively model CAS, often times models can tend to be ambiguous and using only using text-based specifications (such as ODD) making models difficult to be replicated. Previous work has shown how formal specification may be used in conjunction with agent-based modeling to develop models of various CAS. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no such model has been developed in conjunction with AIDS. In this paper, we present a Formal Agent-Based Simulation modeling framework (FABS-AIDS) for an AIDS-based CAS. FABS-AIDS employs the use of a formal specification model in conjunction with an agent-based model to reduce ambiguity as well as improve clarity in the model definition. The proposed model demonstrates the effectiveness of using formal specification in conjunction with agent-based simulation for developing models of CAS in general and, social network-based agent-based models, in particular.
