The Effect of Communication and Cooperation Parameters on Sugarscape

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
Sugarscape is an artificial society consisting of a cellular landscape of resources (sugar or grain) and a population of agents which need the resources for their survival and search and move to obtain them. When agents reach sugar peaks, the model becomes converges. In this paper, simulation and calculation methods were used. The objective of this article is to study the effect of communication and cooperation parameters on sugarscape. To this end, communication and cooperation parameters were added to sugarscape model and variables such as the average number of agents reached sugar peaks, the average number of living agents and the average collected sugar by agents increased. Thus communication and cooperation lead to improve the sugarscape model.
