Self-Organization and Resource Exchange in EVS Modeling
Tóm tắt
Two versions of a model, named Resource, were developed within the Ensembles with Variable Structure (EVS) approach. The EVS-approach represents interacting groups (populations) with a flexible structure of connections and a diversity of elements (agents), where agents possess an abstract set of characteristics, and seek to form connections with other agents according to the degree of compatibility between these characteristics. The model presented here studied a role of parameters related to a flow of resource through the agents of a population. Individual sociability appeared to be a key parameter in the self-organization of the population. The percentage of an individual resource that an agent is allowed to spend was also an important resource-related parameter. Some other phenomena are reported as well.
