Hi, Ray. One will seldom, if ever get identical behavior from two different codes, even if the inputs are identical.
The emergent behavior that could be observed from EpiSims, The SIMS, and Second Life, assuming the latter two could emulate responses to the introduction of a viral pathogen, will vary based directly on the differences of granularity with with the agents are implemented in the simulations. --Doug -- Doug Roberts, RTI International [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 505-455-7333 - Office 505-670-8195 - Cell On 4/4/07, Raymond Parks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Doug, I wonder how EpiSIMS results would compare to introducing a viral actor into "The SIMS" ore "Second Life"? Would there be some difference in emergent behavior of real people running their avatars from agents, however realistically programmed, running their code? -- Ray Parks [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDART Project Lead Voice:505-844-4024 IORTA Department Mobile:505-238-9359 http://www.sandia.gov/scada Fax:505-844-9641 http://www.sandia.gov/idart Pager:800-690-5288 ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
