Eliciting agents’ behaviour and model validation using role playing game in agent-based dairy supply chain model
提出一种将角色扮演游戏用于开发和验证基于主体模型的新方法，通过乳制品供应链案例展示其能获取微观行为数据并提升宏观模型有效性。
Role playing games have been widely used to develop and validate an agent-based model by observing players' behaviour. Our study focuses on proposing a novel approach to use roleplaying games in the development and validation of an agent-based model. Our innovations include matching the game's parameters and player composition to reality, incorporating the design of experiments into the data collection, and incorporating operational validation steps into the process. We demonstrate the benefits of our approach by a case study of a dairy supply chain. Our analysis illustrates that the data obtained from the role playing game are valuable for the validation of agent-based models at the micro-level (process and knowledge representation) and, subsequently, improve the validity of the model at the macro-level.
