Abstract

Multi-agent social simulation (MASS) can be a powerful tool for designing social systems and services. Due to increases in computational power and progress in the social big data field, we can now apply MASS to real social systems, such as urban traffic and disaster response scenarios. Here, we demonstrate several MASS applications and discuss future possibilities and issues in this emerging domain.
