GAM, combining games and agent-based models, shows potential for investigating complex social phenomena. Games offer engaging environments generating insights into dynamics, perceptions, behaviours, while models support the analysis of complexity. share important ability both to input output qualitative quantitative data. Currently, there is no overview GAM approaches. In a systematic literature review, we identified six research design types in empirical studies date. The functional range...
Consumption of animal-sourced food is an important factor in broadening the diet early hominins, promoting brain and body growth, increasing behavioural complexity. However, whether hominins obtained animal by scavenging or hunting large mammals remains debated. Sabre-toothed felids have been proposed to facilitate expansion Homo out Africa into Europe 1.4-0.8 Ma creating a niche for scavengers Eurasia as carcasses abandoned these still contained abundant edible resources. In contrast, it...
In simulation studies, the goal specifies objective or purpose of study and thus drives entire experimentation process. Relevant experiments respective experiment hypotheses are derived from study's model's observed behavior provides evidence whether these hold. Current assistance systems do not integrate research hypotheses. Thus, researcher has to make important design decisions which limits both replicability reproducibility results. this paper, process studies is systematized based on a...
Agent coordination is a fundamental task in designing and operating multiagent systems. However, dynamically changing environments, must balance proactive reactive behaviors order to enable efficient operations while retaining the necessary flexibility react unforeseen events. This paper introduces adaptive agent relationships for coping with these contradictory requirements. In this approach, agents establish which are represented as interaction patterns. On one hand, patterns by...

Social contagion is a process in which the behavior of social group spreads across population. We model and analyze this phenomenon with respect to fertility an agent-based simulation study. Our integrates personal motivations for having children influences allow quantifying their respective impact on fertile behavior. use real-world dataset calibration compare three hypothetical scenarios reference setting. results show that each has statistically significant birth rates agent Moreover, we...
Current trends like the digital transformation and Industry 4.0 are challenging logistics management: flexible process development optimization has been a primary concern in research last two decades. However, flexibility is limited by its underlying distribution of action task knowledge. Thus, our objective to develop an approach optimize performance processes dynamic (re-) configuration knowledge teams. One key assumptions for that is, impact on team‘s performance. Consequently, we propose...
In organizations the distribution of tasks is a rising challenge in complex and dynamic environments. By structuring responsibilities expectations for task processing roles, provide transparent approach collaboration. However, if are being generated unexpectedly, actors who enact multiple roles might be overloaded focusing on relevant information terms an intentional forgetting mechanism, could overcome these overload situations. Therefore, we agent-based simulation to model analyze effects...
