A Connections element has been added inside each agent, which includes the ability to set up interaction parameters and connections between the agent's contacts. Connections element inside agents: You may often find yourself with many agents in one model, which leads to the need for agent interactions and agents uniting into one network.These parameters are easily set up in the agent's properties, no need to add an environment component (See Illustration #3). Embed Agents: An agent can serve as an environment where other agents can be embedded.and to increase ease of use, we've added such components to the corresponding libraries and set up the Agent Population Wizard to launch automatically when your creations are added to the Graphical Editor. You can also create new types of entities, resources, pedestrians, etc. To launch, simply drag the Agent element from the General Palette to the Graphical Editor window (shown below in Illustration #2). Agent Population Wizard: The Wizard allows you to quickly set basic parameters of the agent population and the environment where it is going to exist.Notice in Illustration #1 above, where a patient agent, containing a statechart, contracts an illness, then enters a flow chart (possible treatment) that is shared by other similar agents, and is located in the Main object. Agents can contain statecharts: A statechart defines the current status of an agent.Delay blocks are unnecessary now for modeling these types of processes, and as a result you'll find combining modeling methods even simpler than before. Agents can be anything: An agent could go through a process flow chart with the appropriate characteristics, or if your model calls for it, an agent could be a pedestrian passing through an area where physical space and interactions are important.Read through the following list to familiarize yourself with the new developments.
and is useful to modelers in a multitude of ways.
"The Great Merge," in summary, is an ultimate unification of agents, entities, resources, pedestrians, trains, etc. Let us take a moment to expand upon "The Great Merge," other Agent-Based modeling enhancements, and what these changes mean for future model building. Most likely this is a familiar term, but perhaps you haven't been able to experience the idea quite yet, or are not familiar with the many benefits "The Great Merge" permits.
