Methodological options for modelling agent’s decision-making in multi-agent system model of coupled community-landscape systems
This visual-aided manual presents the state-of-the art methodological options for modeling human decision-making in general and in multi-agent system. The options include heuristic, rational, bounded rational and hybrid ...
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 ...
Human agent’s typology and its role
This non-exhausted manual defines type, typology and the role of functional types of human agents in agricultural transitional research. It also lays out common methods for defining human agent's types. The key messages ...
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 ...
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 ...
Steps in integrated systems analysis - A non-exhausted guideline.
This non-exhausted manual summarizes main steps in integrated systems analysis: (1) problem analysis and system boundary definition, (2) system structural analysis, (3) system functional analysis (including feedback loops ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
