Standardised and transparent model descriptions for agent-based models: Current status and prospects
Agent-based models can be documented with different types of model descriptions. We differentiate eight purposes for which model descriptions are used. We evaluate the different description types on their utility for the different purposes. No single description type alone can fulfil all purposes simultaneously. We suggest a minimum standard by combining particular description types.
