Book Description
Social simulation can be a difficult discipline to encompass fully. There are many methods, models, directions, and theories that can be discussed and applied to various social sciences. Anthropology, sociology, political science, economy, government, and management can all benefit from social simulation. Interdisciplinary Applications of Agent-Based Social Simulation and Modeling aims to bring a different perspective to this interdisciplinary topic. This book presents current discussions and new insights on social simulation as a whole, focusing on its dangers, pitfalls, deceits, and challenges. This book is an essential reference for researchers in this field, professionals using social simulation, and even students studying this discipline.

Handbook of Power Systems II
Author: Steffen Rebennack
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642126863
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
Energy is one of the world`s most challenging problems, and power systems are an important aspect of energy related issues. This handbook contains state-of-the-art contributions on power systems modeling and optimization. The book is separated into two volumes with six sections, which cover the most important areas of energy systems. The first volume covers the topics operations planning and expansion planning while the second volume focuses on transmission and distribution modeling, forecasting in energy, energy auctions and markets, as well as risk management. The contributions are authored by recognized specialists in their fields and consist in either state-of-the-art reviews or examinations of state-of-the-art developments. The articles are not purely theoretical, but instead also discuss specific applications in power systems.

Engineering Interrelated Electricity Markets
Author: Anke Weidlich
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3790820687
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Due to the characteristics of electricity, power markets rank among the most complex markets operated at present. The requirements of an environmentally sustainable, economically efficient, and secure energy supply have resulted in the emergence of several interrelated markets that have to be carefully engineered in order to ensure efficient market outcomes. This book presents an agent-based simulation model that facilitates electricity market research. Simulation outcomes from this model are validated against price data from German power markets. The results significantly contribute to existing research in agent-based simulation and electricity market modeling, and provide insights into the impact of the market structure and market design on electricity prices. The book addresses researchers, lecturers and students who are interested in applying agent-based simulation to power markets. It provides a thorough discussion of the methodology and helpful details for model implementation.

Emissions Trading
Author: Ralf Antes
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387736530
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Emissions trading challenges the management of companies in an entirely new manner. Most importantly it shifts the mode of governance of environmental policy from hierarchy to market. The contributions in this book discuss the theoretical implications of different institutional designs of emissions trading schemes. They review schemes implemented in the US and Europe, and evaluate the range of investment decisions and corporate strategies resulting from the new policy framework.

Economic Multi Agent Systems
Author: Gottfried Haber
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3735780342
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The relatively new scientific field of economic agent-based systems is a promising, but yet not completely developed area of economics, at the frontier to business administration, computer sciences, and the social sciences. This book follows a rather interdisciplinary approach while maintaining a focus on the economic dimension of agent-based models. In contrast to other literature in this field, this book aims at developing a framework for modelling an economic system in the sense of a total model of the economy. The design and implementation of the agent-based framework AS1 are described in detail. Some sample applications, such as an analysis of the effects of the presence of different research institutes providing alternative inconsistent forecasts for the private agents, provide an overview of the strengths of an agent-based economic model. This 2nd edition is a reprint of the original Edition (from 2006).
