Specifying Agents in Construct

Abstract

Construct is a multi-agent simulation tool that is commonly used to investigate dynamic behavior in complex socio-cultural systems. This technical report describes the parameters necessary to specify agents in the simulation, focusing especially on the features which help describe agent behavior. It also introduces a number of pre-defined agent classes, stock-agents which can be used to quickly build up a simulation. This document is intended both as an introduction to Construct model and as a reference guide for simulation experts and casual modelers.
