An actor-model based bottom-up simulation — An experiment on Indian demonetisation initiative

The Sociotechnical Digital Twin: On the Gap Between Social and Technical Feasibility

“…Limitations of the class of systems that can be addressed by this definition is perhaps most helpfully addressed through experimentation and then a process of induction to determine what problems can be addressed. Prior experiments reported by the author and colleagues have explored computational models, that would fall into this definition, in a range of areas including: demonetisation in India [5] and a software services company [6]. These experiments provide some basis for the challenges described here.…”

Language Support for Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning

“…The actor model of computation [2] has been shown to be effective when modelling large complex systems whose behaviour can only be known in localized contexts [7] and we have developed a technology platform called ESL 2 that has used actors to create digital twins of complex systems. By adding goals and intentionality to actors we arrive at intentional, autonomous, composable modular units called agents.…”
