Co-evolutionary analysis: a policy exploration method for system dynamics models
Hongliang, Liu; Howley, Enda; Duggan, Jim (System Dynamics Society / Wiley, 2012-10-22)In system dynamics (SD), complex nonlinear systems can generate a wide range of possible behaviours that frequently require search and optimization algorithms in order to explore optimal policies. Within the SD literature, ... -
The influence of random interactions and decision heuristics on norm evolution in social networks
Mungovan, Declan; Howley, Enda; Duggan, Jim (Springer, 2011-05)In this paper we explore the effect that random social interactions have on the emergence and evolution of social norms in a simulated population of agents. In our model agents observe the behaviour of others and update ... -
Observations on the shortest independent loop set algorithm
Huang, Jinjing; Howley, Enda; Duggan, Jim (System Dynamics Society / Wiley, 2012-07-31)The shortest independent loop set (SILS) algorithm is a widely adopted loop selection method in eigenvalue elasticity analysis to identify dominant loops. However, we find that, in an individual-based model, the SILS cannot ...
