The history of the agent-based model can be traced back to the Von Neumann machine, a theoretical machine capable of reproducing itself. The device von Neumann proposed would follow precisely detailed instructions to fashion a copy of itself. The concept was then improved by von Neumann's friend Stanislaw Ulam, also a mathematician; Ulam suggested that the machine be built on paper, as a collection of cells on a grid. The idea intrigued von Neumann, who drew it up—creating the first of devices later termed cellular automata.

基于agent的模型的历史可以追溯到冯 · 诺依曼(von Neumann)机,这是一种理论上能够自我复制的理论机器。冯 · 诺依曼提出的设备将按照精确的详细指令制作自己的副本。冯 · 诺依曼的朋友、数学家斯坦尼斯拉夫 · 乌拉姆对这个概念进行了改进; 乌拉姆建议将这台机器建在纸上,作为一个网格上的单元集合。这个想法引起了冯 · 诺依曼的兴趣,他提出了它ーー创造了后来被称为细胞自动机的第一个装置。
Another improvement was brought by mathematician, John Conway. He constructed the well-known Game of Life. Unlike the von Neumann's machine, Conway's Game of Life operated by simple rules in a virtual world in the form of a 2-dimensional checkerboard.

数学家John Conway带来了另一项改进。他构建了著名的生命游戏。与冯 · 诺依曼的机器不同,康威的“生命的游戏”(Game of Life)以二维棋盘的形式在虚拟世界中按照简单的规则运行。
The birth of the agent-based model as a model for social systems was primarily brought about by a computer scientist, Craig Reynolds. He tried to model the reality of lively biological agents, known as the artificial life, a term coined by Christopher Langton.

A social simulation may fall within the rubric of computational sociology which is a recently developed branch of sociology that uses computation to analyze social phenomena. The basic premise of computational sociology is to take advantage of computer simulations 模板:Harv in the construction of social theories. It involves the understanding of social agents, the interaction among these agents, and the effect of these interactions on the social aggregate. Although the subject matter and methodologies in social science differ from those in natural science or computer science, several of the approaches used in contemporary social simulation originated from fields such as physics and artificial intelligence.

社会模拟可能属于计算社会学的范畴,它是最近发展起来的一个社会学分支,它利用计算来分析社会现象。计算社会学的基本前提是利用计算机模拟的优势构建社会理论。它涉及对社会主体的理解,这些主体之间的相互作用以及这些相互作用对社会总体的影响。尽管社会科学的主题和方法不同于自然科学或计算科学,但是当代社会模拟中使用的一些方法起源于物理学和人工智能等领域。
System level simulation
系统级别的模拟
System Level Simulation (SLS) is the oldest level of social simulation. System level simulation looks at the situation as a whole. This theoretical outlook on social situations uses a wide range of information to determine what should happen to society and its members if certain variables are present. Therefore, with specific variables presented, society and its members should have a certain response to the new situation. Navigating through this theoretical simulation will allow researchers to develop educated ideas of what will happen under some specific variables.

系统级模拟(SLS)是最古老的社会模拟级别。系统级模拟将情况视为一个整体。这种关于社会状况的理论使用广泛的信息来确定,如果存在某些变量,社会及其成员将会发生什么。因此,随着具体变量的出现,社会及其成员应该对新形势有一定的反应。通过这种理论模拟,研究人员可以对在某些特定变量下会发生的事情发展出有根据的想法。
For example, if NASA were to conduct a system level simulation it would benefit the organization by providing a cost-effective research method to navigate through the simulation. This allows the researcher to steer through the virtual possibilities of the given simulation and develop safety procedures, and to produce proven facts about how a certain situation will play out. 【( (National Research 2006)】

系统级建模(System level modeling,SLM)旨在具专门预测(不同于系统级模拟的预测泛化),并传达系统内几乎任何人、对象、构造等的人和数量的动作、行为或其他理论可能性,以模型的方式使用大量数学方程和计算机编程。
A model is a representation of a specific thing ranging from objects and people to structures and products created through mathematical equations and are designed, using computers, in such a way that they are able to stand-in as the aforementioned things in a study. Models can be either simplistic or complex, depending on the need for either; however, models are intended to be simpler than what they are representing while remaining realistically similar in order to be used accurately. They are built using a collection of data that is translated into computing languages that allow them to represent the system in question. These models, much like simulations, are used to help us better understand specific roles and actions of different things so as to predict behavior and the like.

Agent-based simulation

Agent-based social simulation (ABSS) consists of modeling different societies after artificial agents, (varying on scale) and placing them in a computer simulated society to observe the behaviors of the agents. From this data it is possible to learn about the reactions of the artificial agents and translate them into the results of non-artificial agents and simulations. Three main fields in ABSS are agent-based computing, social science, and computer simulation.

基于agent的社会模拟(Agent-based social simulation,ABSS)是将不同社会群体按照人工智能(artificial agent)模型(规模不同)进行建模,并将其置于计算机模拟的社会中,以观察agents的行为。从这些数据可以了解人工代理的反应,并将其转化为非人工代理和模拟的结果。ABSS 的3个主要领域是基于agent的计算、社会科学和计算机模拟。
Agent-based computing is the design of the model and agents, while the computer simulation is the part of the simulation of the agents in the model and the outcomes. The social science is a mixture of sciences and social part of the model. It is where the social phenomena is developed and theorized. The main purpose of ABSS is to provide models and tools for agent-based simulation of social phenomena. With ABSS we can explore different outcomes for phenomena where we might not be able to view the outcome in real life. It can provide us valuable information on society and the outcomes of social events or phenomena.

Agent-based modeling
Agent-based modeling
基于 agent 的建模
Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a system in which a collection of agents independently interact on networks. Each individual agent is responsible for different behaviors that result in collective behaviors. These behaviors as a whole help to define the workings of the network. ABM focuses on human social interactions and how people work together and communicate with one another without having one, single "group mind". This essentially means that it tends to focus on the consequences of interactions between people (the agents) in a population. Researchers are better able to understand this type of modeling by modeling these dynamics on a smaller, more localized level. Essentially, ABM helps to better understand interactions between people (agents) who, in turn, influence one another (in response to these influences). Simple individual rules or actions can result in coherent group behavior. Changes in these individual acts can affect the collective group in any given population.

基于 agent 的建模(Agent-based modeling ,ABM)是一个由多个 agent 在网络上独立交互的系统。每个个体agent都要对导致集体行为的不同行为负责。这些行为作为一个整体有助于定义网络的工作方式。ABM侧重于人类的社会互动和人们如何在没有单一“群体思维”的情况下一起工作和沟通。这本质上意味着它倾向于关注人与人(the agent)之间相互作用的结果。通过在一个更小的,更局部的水平上对这些动态建模,研究人员能够更好地理解这种类型的建模。从本质上讲,ABM 有助于更好地理解人(agent)之间的互动,而这些人(agent)又相互影响(对这些影响作出反应)。简单的个人规则或动作可以导致一致的群体行为。这些个人行为的变化会影响任何特定人群中的集体。
Agent-based modeling is an experimental tool for theoretical research. It enables one to deal with more complex individual behaviors, such as adaptation. Overall, through this type of modeling, the creator, or researcher, aims to model behavior of agents and the communication between them in order to better understand how these individual interactions impact an entire population. In essence, ABM is a way of modeling and understanding different global patterns.

- ”基于agent的市场和消费者行为模拟”是联合利华公司研究资助的另一个研究小组。目前正在进行的研究是调查基于agent的模拟对消费者行为建模的有用性,并显示其可以为长期建立的营销方法增加的潜在价值和洞察力。
- "New and Emergent World Models Through Individual, Evolutionary and Social Learning" or (New Ties) is a three-year project that will ultimately create a virtual society developed by agent-based simulation. The project will develop a simulated society capable of exploring the environment and developing its own image of this environment and the society through interaction. The goal of the research project is for the simulated society to exhibit individual learning, evolutionary learning and social learning.
- “通过个人、进化及社会学习的新兴的世界模型”或(新纽带)是一个为期三年的项目,最终将建立一个由基于agent模拟的虚拟社会。该项目将建立一个能够探索环境,并通过互动发展自己对这一环境和社会的形象的模拟社会。该该研究项目的目标是使模拟社会呈现个体学习、进化学习和社会学习。
- Bruch and Mare's project on neighborhood segregation: The purpose of the study is to figure out the reasoning for neighborhood segregation based on race, and to figure out the tipping point or when people become uncomfortable with the integration levels into their neighborhood, and decide to flee from the neighborhood. They set up a model using flash cards, and put the agent's house in the middle and put houses of different races surrounding the agent's house. They asked people how comfortable they would feel with different situations; if they were okay with one situation, they asked another until the neighborhood was fully integrated. Bruch and Mare's results showed that the tipping point was at 50%. When a neighborhood became 50% minority and 50% white, people of both races began to become uncomfortable and white flight began to rise. The use of agent-based modeling showed how useful it can be in the world of sociology, people did not have to answer why they would become uncomfortable, just which situation they were uncomfortable with.
- Bruch和 Mare 的关于社区隔离的项目: 这项研究的目的是找出基于种族的社区隔离的原因,并找出临界点或者当人们对融入社区的程度感到不舒服时,并决定逃离社区时。他们用闪存卡建立了一个模型,然后把agent的房子放在中间,把不同种族的房子围绕在agent的房子周围。他们询问人们在不同的情况下感觉如何; 如果他们对一种情况感到没问题,他们会询问另一种情况,直到邻里完全融合。Bruch 和 Mare 的研究结果显示,临界点是50% 。当一个社区变成了50% 的少数民族和50% 的白人时,这两个种族的人开始变得不舒服,白人逃亡开始增多。基于agent的模型的使用表明它在社会学领域是多么的有用,人们不需要回答为什么他们会变得不舒服,只需要回答他们对哪种情况感到不舒服。
- The MAELIA Program (Multi-Agent Emergent Norms Assessment) is a project dealing with the relationships between the users and managers of a natural resource, in that case water, and the related norms and laws that are to be built within them (conventions) or are imposed to them by other actors (institutions). The purpose of the project is to build a generic multiscale platform which is planned to deal with water conflict-related issues.

Agent-based modeling is most useful in providing a bridge between micro and macro levels, which is a large part of what sociology studies. Agent-based models are most appropriate for studying processes that lack central coordination, including the emergence of institutions that, once established, impose order from the top down. The models focus on how simple and predictable local interactions generate familiar but highly detailed global patterns, such as emergence of norms and participation of collective action. Michael W. Macy and Robert Willer researched a recent survey of applications and found that there were two main problems with agent-based modeling the self-organization of social structure and the emergence of social order 【(Macy & Willer 2002)】. Below is a brief description of each problem Macy and Willer believe there to be;
基于 agent 的建模在微观层面和宏观层面之间架起了一座桥梁,这是社会学研究的重要组成部分。基于agent的模型最适合于研究中缺乏中央协调的过程,包括出现的机构,一旦建立,从上到下施加秩序。这些模式侧重于简单且可预测的本地互动如何产生熟悉但非常详细的全球模式,如规范的出现和集体行动的参与。Michael W. Macy 和 Robert Willer 研究了最近的一项应用调查,发现基于 agent 的社会结构的自组织建模和社会秩序的出现存在两个主要问题。下面是Macy and Willer 认为存在的每个问题的简要描述:
- "Emergent structure. In these models, agents change location or behavior in response to social influences or selection pressures. Agents may start out undifferentiated and then change location or behavior so as to avoid becoming different or isolated (or in some cases, overcrowded). Rather than producing homogeneity, however, these conformist decisions aggregate to produce global patterns of cultural differentiation, stratification, and homophilic clustering in local networks. Other studies reverse the process, starting with a heterogeneous population and ending in convergence: the coordination, diffusion, and sudden collapse of norms, conventions, innovations, and technological standards."
- "Emergent social order. These studies show how egoistic adaptation can lead to successful collective action without either altruism or global (top down) imposition of control. A key finding across numerous studies is that the viability of trust, cooperation, and collective action depends decisively on the embeddedness of interaction."
1.“紧急结构。在这些模型中,agents根据社会影响或选择压力而改变地点或行为。agent可能刚开始时没有区别,然后改变位置或行为,以避免变得不同或孤立(或在某些情况下,过度拥挤)。然而,这些循规蹈矩的决定并没有产生同质性,而是聚合在一起,在本地网络中产生了文化分化、分层和同质聚集的全球模式。其他的研究则反其道而行之,从异质人口开始,以趋同结束: 规范、惯例、创新和技术标准的协调、扩散和突然崩溃。”
2.“新兴的社会秩序。这些研究表明,在没有利他主义或全球(自上而下)控制的情况下,利己主义适应可以导致成功的集体行动。众多研究的一个关键的发现是,信任、合作和集体行动的可行性决定性地取决于互动的嵌入性。”
These examples simply show the complexity of our environment and that agent-based models are designed to explore the minimal conditions, the simplest set of assumptions about human behavior, required for a given social phenomenon to emerge at a higher level of organization.

Criticisms
批评
Since its creation, computerized social simulation has been the target of some criticism in regard to its practicality and accuracy. Social simulation's simplification of the complex to form models from which we can better understand the latter is sometimes seen as a draw back, as using fairly simple models to simulate real life with computers is not always the best way to predict behavior.

计算机社会模拟自诞生以来,由于其实用性和准确性,一直受到一些批评。社会模拟将复杂的模型简化为我们可以更好地理解后者的模型,这有时被看作是一种退步,因为使用计算机和相当简单的模型来模拟现实生活并不总是预测行为的最佳方式。
Most of the criticism seems to be aimed at agent-based models and simulation and how they work:

大多数批评似乎都针对基于agent的模型和模拟,以及它们的工作方式:
- Simulations, being man-made from mathematical interfaces, predict human behavior in a far too simple manner in regard to the complexities of humanity and our actions.
- Simulations cannot enlighten researchers as to how people interact or behave in ways not programmed into their models. For this reason, the scope of simulations are limited in that the researchers must already know what they are going to find (to a degree, for they cannot find anything they themselves did not place in the model) at least vaguely, possibly skewing the results.
- Due to the complexities of what is being measured, simulations must be analyzed in unbiased ways; however, with the model running on a pre-made set of instructions coded into it by a modeler, biases exist almost universally.
- It is highly difficult and often impractical to attempt to link the findings from the abstract world the simulation creates and our complex society and all of its variation.
- 模拟,由数学接口人工制造的,在人类复杂的行为和我们的行为的复杂性方面,预测人类行为的方式过于简单。
- 模拟无法启发研究人员,让他们了解人们如何以未编入模型的方式进行互动或表现。出于这个原因,模拟的范围是有限的,因为研究人员必须已经知道他们将要发现什么(在一定程度上,因为他们无法找到任何他们自己没有放在模型中的东西) ,至少含糊不清,可能扭曲结果。
- 由于测量内容的复杂性,模拟必须以公正的方式进行模拟分析; 然而,由于模型运行在由建模着编码的预先设定的指令集上,偏差几乎普遍存在。
- 试图将模拟创造的抽象世界和我们复杂的社会及其变化联系起来是非常困难,而且往往是不切实际的。
Researchers working in social simulation might respond that the competing theories from the social sciences are far simpler than those achieved through simulation and therefore suffer the aforementioned drawbacks much more strongly. Theories in some social science tend to be linear models that are not dynamic, and are generally inferred from small laboratory experiments (laboratory tests are most common in psychology but rare in sociology, political science, economics and geography). The behavior of populations of agents under these models is rarely tested or verified against empirical observation.

从事社会模拟研究的研究人员可能会回应说,来自社会科学的竞争理论远比那些通过模拟得到的理论简单,因此更容易遭受上述弊端的影响。一些社会科学中的理论往往是线性模型,不是动态的,通常是从小型实验室实验中推断出来的(实验室测试在心理学中最常见,但在社会学、政治学、经济学和地理学中很少见)。在这些模型下,agent群体的行为很少根据经验观察被检验或验证。
