Abstract

This tutorial focuses on the basic functionalities of an emerging simulation modeling technique (i.e., agent-based modeling), the use of the tool for modeling a managerial issue, and the analysis of simulation data for electronic governance (e-governance) research. It also articulates potential questions that may be raised in each step of modeling. The tutorial ends with perspectives on critical subjects in ABM.
