At a conference on "New Methods in Political Science" recently, someone was asking why ABM's still haven't had the payoff that was promised a decade ago in our field. I believe this anarchic state and a continuing uncertainty about its epistemological foundations is the reason.
Darren[I'm hoping we can move this discussion to Swarm Modelling since there are people who monitor that list only who would likely have insights.]
I'd suggest not, because such a standardisation would impose the wrong kind of constraint on the way we go about building models. If we do standardise, I think it should be to constrain ourselves methodologically rather than technologically.Gary _______________________________________________ Support mailing list address@hidden http://www.swarm.org/mailman/listinfo/support
