There's more to a model than code: understanding and formalizing in silico modeling experience
Mapping biology into computation has both a domain specific aspect – biological theory – and a methodological aspect – model development. Computational modelers have implici...

Zooming Multi-Agent Systems
Abstract Complex systems call for a hierarchical description. Analogously, the engineering of non-trivial MASs (multiagent systems) requires principles and mechanisms for a multi-l...

Risk Assessment in Complex Interacting Infrastructure Systems
Critical infrastructures have some of the characteristic properties of complex systems. They exhibit infrequent large failures events. These events, though infrequent, often obey ...

Sketching with Conceptual Metaphors to Explain Computational Processes
To explore how people conceptualize a complex system, 232 university students were asked to sketch how a search engine works. While the sketches reveal a diverse range of visual a...

From Conceptual Models to Agent-based Simulations: Why and How
The core problem we address in this paper is how to take a declarative conceptual representation of a complex system and produce an agent-based simulation of that model. In particu...
