Complex Systems Modeling…
Top-down approach
The phenomenon is expressed as a
numerical model and simulated by
using differential equations or
queuing. Such calculations
are based mainly on numerical
analysis.
Bottom-up approach
The phenomenon is expressed as a
complex system and simulated
through local interaction between
elements of the system.
Agent Based Model (1)…
It is a simulation modeling
technique where a system is
modeled as a collection of
agents or sub-system and the
relationships between them.
Agents individually asses its
situation in the environment
and make decisions on the
basis of a set of rules.

Prey-Predator Dynamics Modeling…
Rules:
1. There are four types of agents: Male and female predators, Male and
female preys.
5. Predators can die if not predate prey for certain period or surrounded
by three or more preys.

Growing Network Modeling…
Rules:
2. If two agents close to each other generate a new agent and all of them
are connected.
