ACS6132   Agent-based modelling and multi-agent systems   (15 credits)

Description

This module introduces multi-agent systems and agent-based modelling. It will motivate the many diverse types of complex adaptive system that can be represented and simulated by these approaches (including engineering applications, artificial intelligence and socio-technical systems). The module introduces a set of key theories, methods and tools in the domain of multi-agent systems and agent-based models. You will gain experience of implementing agent-based simulations in state-of-the-art software, building on your experience in object-oriented programming and agile software development methods.
