Abstract
Modeling and simulating the world with agent-based models is a one of the key disciplines that emerge today in the computing area, with the development of power calculation machines and the availability of huge amount of data. Many methodologies have been established to guide the elaboration of different models, but few ones have focused on linking data to model. In this paper, we give a formalized mapping between data and multi-agent components (DAMap: Data to Agent Mapping), as a first step in the process of standardizing the development of a simulation model from raw data. Then we apply it to an household decision-making process in the city of Marrakesh.
