| Modeling and simulation, as a discipline, covers a wide variety of sub-disciplines and topics, from biology to games, from earth science to art. Issues in social sciences are also being addressed within modeling and simulation through the use of different paradigms. The purpose of this research is to use the micro-modeling paradigm Agent-Based Modeling to create a preliminary setup to study the process of negotiations. The specific tool chosen to model and simulate negotiations is NetLogo. The paper describes the overall methodology and specific steps to create a model to simulate negotiations. The preliminary model developed can be used as a starting point for more complex negotiation processes. |
