| dc.description.abstract | Hybrid simulation involves the use of multiple simulation paradigms, and is becoming an increasingly common approach to modelling modern, complex systems. Despite growing interest in its use, little guidance exists for modellers regarding the nature and variety of hybrid simulation models. Here, we concentrate on one particular hybrid – that involving agent-based and system dynamics models. Based on an up-to-date review of the literature, we propose three basic types of hybrid agent-based system dynamics simulations, referred to here as interfaced, integrated and sequential hybrid designs. We speculate that the classification presented may also be useful for other classes of hybrid simulations. | en_UK |
