“…A good guide to agent-based modelling (ABM) of complex systems that includes analysis, verification and validation of ABM can be found in (Wilensky and Rand, 2015). The usage of agent-based approaches to problem solving is spreading in many fields, so recent examples of agent-based solutions can be found for industry in (Herrera et al, 2020;Hoffmann, 2019), biology in (Zhang and DeAngelis, 2020;Soheilypour and Mofrad, 2018), communications network modelling in (Derakhshan and Yousefi, 2019;Sutagundar et al, 2019), supply chain modelling in (Dominguez, 2020;Arvitrida, 2018), energy optimization in (Al-Issaei et al, 2019), etc. As more and more of these agentbased systems are implemented, they will eventually have to communicate and interact with each other to meet increasingly complex objectives that may require completing tasks out of their own scope.…”
