Abstract: Complex social and biological phenomena, for example, the spread of communicable diseases and climate change, continue to pose significant challenges for modern societies. The evolution of such complex phenomena has led to the development of advanced methodologies to deal with data that are more heterogeneous, less coarse, and more complex. This evolution is typified by the “agent-based modelling” (ABM) paradigm, a lattice-distributed collection of autonomous decision-making entities, the
interactions of which unveil the dynamics and emergent properties of the underlying system. With continual increase in the computational power, and wide-spread use of information and communication technologies, the application of ABM in human equations has become more readily achievable. In this talk, we provide a brief overview of ABM and its application to epidemic dynamics with some examples from previous and current research projects.
