It is very difficult to pursue research over real-time networks at the meantime implementation of such components are costly. Network simulators reduce this task in real time and accomplish this task with less time and cost. There are many network simulators available in the market like Ns2,...

Airplanes were invented by hobbyists and experimenters, and some personal computers were as well. Similarly, many open-source software developers are interested in the software they make, and not focused on profit. Based on these cases, this paper has a model of agents called tinkerers who want...

This volume features contributions to agent-based computational modeling from the social sciences and computer sciences. It presents applications of methodologies and tools, focusing on the uses, requirements, and constraints of agent-based models used by social scientists. Topics include...
