Abstract

Developing a valid agent-based simulation model is not always straight forward, but involves a lot of prototyping, testing and analyzing until the right low-level behavior is fully specified and calibrated. Our aim is to replace the try and error search of a modeler by adaptive agents which learn a behavior that then can serve as a source of inspiration for the modeler. In this contribution, we suggest to use genetic programming as the learning mechanism. For this aim we developed a genetic programming framework integrated into the visual agent-based modeling and simulation tool SeSAm, providing similar easy-to-use functionality.
