“…The definition of a complex network also involves patterns of "decentralized autonomous interactions" [12]. Since the ABMs are inherently dynamic and they permit the desired richness of behaviors, these decentralized autonomous interactions can easily be modelled through the agent-based approaches.…”

It is important to recognize that the dynamics of each country are different. Therefore, the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic necessitates each country to act locally, but keep thinking globally. Governments have a responsibility to manage their limited resources optimally while struggling with this pandemic. Managing the trade-offs regarding these dynamics requires some sophisticated models. "Agent-based simulation" is a powerful tool to create such kind of models. Correspondingly, this study addresses the spread of COVID-19 employing an interaction-oriented multi-agent SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered) model. This model is based on the scale-free networks (incorporating 10, 000 nodes) and it runs some experimental scenarios to analyze the main effects and the interactions of "average-node-degree", "initial-outbreak-size", "spread-chance", "recovery-chance", and "gain-resistance" factors on "average-duration (of the pandemic last)", "average-percentage of infected", "maximum-percentage of infected", and "the expected peak-time". Obtained results from this work can assist determining the correct tactical responses of partial lockdown.

“…A very interesting method to be used here is the so called recipeWorld brought forward by Fontana & Terna which is "an agent-based model that simulates the emergence of networks out of a decentralized autonomous interaction" [31]. The main of their approach is that modeled agents are given so called recipes that represent variable numbers of steps, some of which might run in parallel, which ought to be taken in order to achieve a given result.…”

Abstract-Massively Multi-Player On-Line Role-Playing Games (MMORPG) give us the opportunity to study two important aspects of computing: (1) large-scale virtual social interaction of people (players) and (2) the design, development and coordination of large-scale distributed artificial intelligence (AI). A common denominator for both aspects are the methods used to study them: social interaction can be described and simulated using agent-based models (ABM) whilst distributed AI is commonly modeled in terms of multi-agent systems (MAS). The important question to ask in both perspectives is how do agents organize in order to perform their tasks and reach their objectives? In the following paper we will present and overview of agent-based approaches to modeling MMORPG's agents including human players, artificial players (bots) and nonplaying characters (NPCs). We will put a special accent on useful agent behaviors, coordination and consensus mechanisms as well as organization and social network structure of agent societies.
