From Complexity to Agent Modelling and Back Again - Bruce Edmonds

4 Towards dealing with the complexity of modelling agents - modelling modelling


Thus I have built up a picture of the connections in this context between types of complexity:.

If what I have said is correct, we are faced with a task of great behavioural complexity. So how can we proceed? In particular how can we succeed in a way that is not entirely specific to each situation? Such an enterprise comes down to nothing less than establishing a framework for modelling the process of modelling itself. Below I briefly discuss some of the key features that such a framework might have (for more details on this see [15]).

4.1 - The Form - meaning distinction
4.2 - The complexity, specificity, error trade-off
4.3 - The modelling language
4.4 - Processes of model development
