Abstract

Will the economic agent-based simulation community ever conquer the Tower of Babel effect - and what does it take to succeed in this quest? These are the topics for this paper where it is argued that settling on a common programming language - or even a common platform as Swarm, is not sufficient for reaching a satisfactory level of communication between modelers. With this lack of communication, agent-based simulation models runs the risk of being perceived as onedamned thing after the otherwithout ever accumulating a set of broadly accepted conclusions. A solution to this problem is suggested in the adoption of the framework concept from computer science. A sketch of an application framework for doing economic simulations in Swarm is presented and tested (in a virtual sense) on existing economic Swarm modelsKeywordsUnify Modeling LanguageInstitutional SettingEconomic FrameworkClass LibraryApplication FrameworkThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
