Agent-based systems have become an important area of research since the 1990s. They have been applied to a range of domains that are intrinsically complex. Among these, environmental problems are of special concern, given their ample affectation to our societies and everyday quality of life. This report provides a review of agent-based systems applied to environmental problems of diverse nature. The usefulness of Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) to model complex systems that embed multiple and dynamic interactions, such as in environmental processes, is revealed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
