Agent-based Simulation of Black Box Products Market

摘要

In this paper, we introduce the study of movements of a market of black box product by simulating agent-based artificial society. The point here is the effect of communication among agents. To study this point, we built a model of agent behavior, purchasing and communicating, and executed some experiments. We noticed three points from the experimented results. First, communication promote the condition specified products are purchased by many agents. Secondly, the rumors apt to come up in the situation where agents can communicate with many others simultaneously, which are very influent on the society. Thirdly, it is important to communicate with many others for finding products that satisfy the agent.
