Opis

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Multi-Agent-Based Simulation, MABS 2002, held as part of the AAMAS 2002 conference in Bologna, Italy, in July 2002.

The 12 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on emergence, alliances, and groups; MABS platforms and languages; and MABS applications.
