Advances in Computational Modeling Research

Agent-based models (ABM) and computational models simulate the actions and interactions of autonomous agents (both individual or collective entities such as organisations or groups) with a view to assessing their effects on the system as a whole. In this book, the authors discuss the modelling, simulation and optimisation of resources management in hospital emergency departments using the agent-based approach; computational modelling in male reproduction; consumer-centric agent-based marketing models; Lattice-Boltzmann simulation of transport phenomena in agroindustrial biosystems; and agent-based models in cancer prevention research.
