What One Can Learn from Extracting OWL Ontologies from a NetLogo Model That Was Not Designed for Such an Exercise

Troitzsch, Klaus G. - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 18 (2015) 2, pp. 14-14

J. Gary Polhills forum paper in this issue was an invitation to try the OWL extension on a model that was written more than a year ago. Download and installation was a matter of a few minutes, extending the old model with a few lines as shown in the paper was not a problem either, visualising...

Ontology, a Mediator for Agent-Based Modeling in Social Science

Livet, Pierre; Muller, Jean-Pierre; Phan, Denis; … - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 13 (2010) 1, pp. 3-3

the role that a well defined ontology, based on the crossing of the philosophical and the computer science insights, can … play to solve such questions and help the model building. We analyze different conceptions of ontology, introduce the … systematic ABM ontology. The latter process is situated within a larger framework called the \'knowledge framework\' in which not …

Modelling the Economy as an Agent-Based Process: ABCE, A Modelling Platform and Formal Language for ACE

Taghawi-Nejad, Davoud - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 16 (2013) 3, pp. 1-1

In this paper, I argue that the key innovation of Agent-Based Economics is not the introduction of the individual agent as an ontological object, but the fact that the economy is modelled as a process. I propose a formal language to express economic models as processes. This formal language...

A Framework for Epistemological Perspectives on Simulation

Becker, Joerg; Niehaves, Bjoern; Klose, Karsten - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 8 (2005) 4, pp. 1-1

Simulation is a widely-used research method going back to a long history in numerous disciplines and in many research communities. But the epistemological status of simulation remains unclear and very much depends on the individual propositions of the researcher. At this juncture, we develop a...

The AtollGame Experience: from Knowledge Engineering to a Computer-Assisted Role Playing Game

Dray, Anne; Perez, Pascal; Jones, Natalie; Page, … - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 9 (2006) 1, pp. 6-6

This paper presents the methodology developed to collect, understand and merge viewpoints coming from different stakeholders in order to build a shared and formal representation of the studied system dealing with groundwater management in the low-lying atoll of Tarawa (Republic of Kiribati). The...
