基于Agent的仿真模型在社会科学中有着广阔的前景，从政治学到人类学、经济学和社会学。然而，要实现其全部的科学潜力，这些模型必须解决一系列关键问题，如相互作用的代理和他们的几何形状，网络拓扑结构，时间校准，现象学校准，结构稳定性，幂律，和其他实质性和方法的问题。本文讨论并强调了这些问题，并概述了一些解决方案。
Agent-based simulation models have a promising future in the social sciences, from political science to anthropology, economics, and sociology. To realize their full scientific potential, however, these models must address a set of key problems, such as the number of interacting agents and their geometry, network topology, time calibration, phenomenological calibration, structural stability, power laws, and other substantive and methodological issues. This paper discusses and highlights these problems and outlines some solutions.
