TLDR
This paper surveys the challenges suggested by the papers of this session of the Colloquium on agent-based modeling, and concludes that in order for the anticipated revolution to occur, a series of challenges must be met.Abstract:
A clear consensus among the papers in this Colloquium is that agent-based modeling is a revolutionary development for social science. However, the reasons to expect this revolution lie more in the potential seen in this tool than through realized results. In order for the anticipated revolution to occur, a series of challenges must be met. This paper surveys the challenges suggested by the papers of this session.read more

Pattern-oriented modeling of agent-based complex systems: lessons from ecology
Volker Grimm,Eloy Revilla,Uta Berger,Florian Jeltsch,Wolf M. Mooij,Steven F. Railsback,Hans-Hermann Thulke,Jacob Weiner,Thorsten Wiegand,Donald L. DeAngelis +9 more
TL;DR: This paper argues that recent advances in ecological modeling have come together in a general strategy that provides a unifying framework for decoding the internal organization of agent-based complex systems and may lead toward unifying algorithmic theories of the relation between adaptive behavior and system complexity.

Everything you need to know about agent-based modelling and simulation
TL;DR: The issue of ABMS represents as a new development is revisited, considering the extremes of being an overhyped fad, doomed to disappear, or a revolutionary development, shifting fundamental paradigms of how research is conducted.

Agent-based computing from multi-agent systems to agent-based models: a visual survey
Muaz A. Niazi,Amir Hussain +1 more
TL;DR: This paper uses Scientometric analysis to analyze all sub-domains of agent-based computing, and results include the identification of the largest cluster based on keywords, the timeline of publication of index terms, the core journals and key subject categories.

A Survey of Agent-Based Modeling Practices (January 1998 to July 2008)
TL;DR: Six improvements needed to advance ABM as an analysis tool are discussed, including the development of ABM specific tools that are independent of software and the development and application of statistical and non-statistical validation techniques specifically for ABM.

Agent-based models in translational systems biology
TL;DR: The ability of agent‐based modeling to encompass multiple scales of biological process as well as spatial considerations, coupled with an intuitive modeling paradigm, suggests that this modeling framework is well suited for translational systems biology.

Micromotives and Macrobehavior
TL;DR: The Micromotives and Macrobehavior was originally published over twenty-five years ago, yet the stories it tells feel just as fresh today as discussed by the authors, and the subject of these stories-how small and seemingly meaningless decisions and actions by individuals often lead to significant unintended consequences for a large group-is more important than ever.

How Nature Works: The Science of Self-Organized Criticality
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the Sandpile Paradigm, Earthquakes, Starquakes, and Solar Flares, and the "Game of Life": Complexity Is Criticality, and Is Life a Self-Organized Critical Phenomenon?

Emergence: From Chaos to Order
TL;DR: In Emergence, John Holland dramatically shows that a theory of emergence can predict many complex behaviors, and has much to teach us about life, the mind, and organizations.
