A Survey of Agent-Based Modeling Practices (January 1998 to July 2008) (2009, background): “However, this statement is based primarily on the potential of ABM rather than the current results (Bankes 2002).”
Everything you need to know about agent-based modelling and simulation (2016, background): “Bankes (2002) described the potential of ABMS early on when he wrote that a clear consensus among the papers in the Sackler Colloquium of the National Academy of Sciences (Sackler, 2001), which focussed on agent-based modelling, was that ABMS ‘ is a revolutionary development for social science ’ ,…”
Agent-based computing from multi-agent systems to agent-based models: a visual survey (2011, background): “ABM has found parallel applications in numerous domains as diverse as the Social Sciences(Epstein and Axtell 1996) to Biological Sciences (Gonzalez et al. 2003; Siddiqa et al. 2009; Mukhopadhyay et al. 2010), to Environmental modeling(Muaz Niazi et al. 2010; Xiaofei 2010).”
Agent-based models in translational systems biology (2009, background): “8,10 Also, the necessary components of an agent-based modeling environment require addressing certain software issues not often dealt with in more traditional object-oriented programming tools.”
