An example of MAS-based analysis of a rural community-landscape system
This visual-aided document illustrates how a coupled community-landscape system can be analysed for in-depth modeling research using Multi-Agent System (MAS) approach. It guides collection and integration of household-farm ...
Review of integrated systems modelling methods and selection guide
This non-exhausted manual provides an overview of the landscape of system modeling methods and identifies main criteria differentiating these methods. It introduces a table of comparative assessments of potentials and ...
Human-environment systems: Concept and Contemporary Frameworks
This non-exhausted manual introduces concepts of system in systems science, and related claims in different systems theories. It is noted that, as the system's purpose and boundary have both ontological (objective) and ...
Farming system models for supporting farm resilience: Research needs, gaps and promising approaches
It is important to increase the resilience of food production systems in the face of a changing climate, land scarcity, and changing demographics and market conditions. As farm resilience is a high-level system property ...
Manual for Computer Lab Practice on Multi-Agent System (MAS) for Simulating Coupled Community-Landscape System Dynamics
This manual includes 5 units of computer lab guidelines for practicing the development of an spatial explicit multi-agent system model for simulating coupled community-landscape dynamics with example real-world data to ...
How to model ecological model in MAS - Examples
This visual-aided manual illustrates how relevant ecological processes, such as soil erosion and vegetation growth, and their natural and anthropocentric drivers are modeled as sub-models. The representing of these processes ...
Sustainable Intensification: Concept and Challenges from Systems Perspective
This presentation conceptualizes transition pathways toward sustainable Intensification of small-holder agricultural livelihood systems, the need and challenges of integrated systems models as decision support tools for ...
Sustainable Intensification: Concept Revisited, Research Challenges, and New Methodologies from Modern Systems Science Perspective
This presentation revisits the concept of sustainable intensification from modern systems science perspectives (human-environmental system, social-ecological resilience, complex adaptive systems, transformation and ...
Socio-ecological System Models for Supporting Farm Resilience: Research Needs, Gaps and Promising Approaches
It is important to increase the resilience of food production systems in the face of a changing climate, land scarcity, and changing demographics and market conditions. As farm resilience is a high-level system property ...
How to present MAS modelling work and results
Communicating effectively the model and modeling results of complex social-ecological systems such as agricultural and livelihood systems is not an easy task. This visual-aided manual introduces a standard protocol to ...
