Abstract
This paper aims to introduce an agent-based multi-criteria assessment model that support stakeholders to make multi-criteria decisions for rice pest management, this study designs agents with dynamic ability of multi-criteria decision making from information of other agents so that rice pest risk maps are built. A case study is carried out on risk assessment of brown plant hoppers in the Mekong Delta region, simulation results show that rice pest risk index aggregated from criteria and agent-based models are useful tools to support rice pest management.
