Agent based modeling

TL;DR: In this paper, an agent-based model of household water-consuming behavior is presented, which simulates hourly water-using activities of household members within a rich technological and behavioral context, calibrated with appropriate data.

TL;DR: A novel conceptual model for large-scale agent-based social simulation development is introduced, the reference implementation of the proposed model components are given, and a simulation study of a case of epidemic prediction and control in the city of Beijing is presented.

TL;DR: A computational model equipped with the main immunological features of the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) immune system was used to predict more effective vaccination in fish and confirms the suitability of in silico methods to optimize vaccine doses and the immune response to them.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the use and adaptation of models from epidemiology (compartmental models) to investigate the transmission dynamics of different social contagion processes, all of which are spread by contact only.
