The aim of this book is to meet this need, providing knowledge about the design and development of agent-based simulations in an easy and comprehensible way. With an accessible presentation supported by practical examples, figures, schemes and source codes, the publication is especially suitable as a textbook for introductory graduate-level courses on multi-agent systems and agent-based modeling.
