The transformative potential of exascale computing for agent-based modelling Gary Polhill and Matt Hare Room 103
Imagine what you would do if you had a billion laptops you could use to experiment with your agent-based model. This is the kind of computing power that exascale (10^18 operations per second) computing offers. Simulation experiments that now take weeks – even on HPC clusters – could be over in fractions of a second. When working with stakeholders and policymakers, you could then have more creative and interactive discussions about the potential range of cascading consequences emerging from proposed interventions. This workshop, sponsored by the EPSRC (the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) through the ‘ExAMPLER’ project, aims to co-construct ‘user stories’ of what we could achieve with agent-based modelling when supported by exascale computing, and the institutional changes, software and data we would also need.

Alternative models of the development of inequality Bruce Edmonds Room 103
Following a call for declarations of interest in this topic, over thirty researchers have declared an interest in this topic, most of them from the social simulation community. The idea is to expand the narratives concerning how inequality might come about, beyond the traditional ones from the left and right political wings. The socio-technical economy is extremely complex and thus we feel the debate needs to move beyond a simplistic brake-or-accelerator polarisation. We thus want to encourage a range of simulations that seek to represent the processes that can result in persistent, unequal outcomes. We are open to different kinds of inequality as well as different ways of measuring this (inequity, absolute poverty, capabilities approach etc. all included). At this stage we do not want responses to be too formalised, hence why we are asking for an informal half-day workshop rather than a formal session.

How to escape the dilemmas of complex systems modelling in public health: A users guide and map
The current literature is clear: there is an urgent need to apply a complex systems modelling approach to public health. What is less clear is how to do this effectively. Research and practice have shown mixed results, due to a series of dilemmas. A short list includes: a strong tendency to model public health issues instead of interrogating the development, implementation and evaluation of systems-level interventions; public health practitioners and funding organisations being biased toward simple, individual-level, short-term solutions based on clinical trials; modellers being tone deaf about the roadblocks to applying simulations to public health; the need to focus on stakeholder engagement; and an overemphasis on computational models over qualitative methods.Fortunately, a small but growing global network of scholars are charting new territory. They are part of a fresh turn in complexity and modelling, the social science turn, which fosters a transdisciplinary, social complexity imagination that, in one way or another, addresses the field’s current dilemmas to create new areas of disruptive and highly innovative social inquiry.The Atlas of social complexity – written with Lasse Gerrits, forthcoming 2024 Edward Elgar – charts this new territory, seeking to map its present future; which we do by outlining a set of ‘best practices’ (with examples of scholars doing this work) for applying social complexity to public health modelling. These include: (1) challenging social physics and reductionism, (2) rethinking complex causality and system dynamics, (3) emphasising co-creation and context, (4) understanding real-world policy making, (5) modelling at multiple levels and with multiple models, (6) developing interdisciplinary methods and using qualitative data, (7) grounding models in rigorous social science, and (8) accepting the limits of what modelling can do.

Agent-Based Social Simulation and Modelling: Cui Bono?
Cui bono = who benefits? And who do we want to benefit from agent-based social simulation modelling? My keynote talk will explore how agent-based social simulation modelling has developed in the 40 years since I produced my first published model. I will use a few examples to show why I believe that the beneficiaries of our work are almost always just ourselves. I will explain why I think this has happened. I will argue that you — the following generations of modellers — should and can benefit society more widely. You could have an important and positive impact on social policy and private enterprise. I will describe how you might do that. I will also recognise the pressures on you not to pursue a wider social benefit.

Computational models of adaptive human behaviour and social institutions for exploring responses to climate change
Worldwide climate change exacerbates risks of flooding, droughts, heatwaves and wild forest fires. The recognition of the crucial role of human actors in altering risks and socio-economic resilience drives a proliferation of computational models that include societal dynamics. Yet, replacing a representative rational actor dominant in climate policy models with a variety of behaviorally-rich agents that interact, learn and adapt is not straightforward. While computational agent-based models add value to exploring dynamic responses to climate change risks, the specifics of unprecedented adaptation we are to face open new methodological frontiers. This talk focuses on the role of behavioral biases, individual decisions under risk and social institutions in shaping patterns of risks and in adapting to the changing climate. I present examples of agent-based models – from simplistic to empirically-grounded – to explore cumulative impacts of dynamic boundedly-rational individual choices and of evolving social institutions. The talk concludes with discussing the outstanding methodological challenges and the upcoming open access community platform for sharing reusable building blocks for complex systems models.

Standards in ABM Room 103 Chair: Bruce Edmonds
Whilst agent-based social simulation (ABSS) has gained in sophistication and the range of application areas, it has not been accepted or understood to the extent of other modelling approaches. Part of the reason for this is that others (especially policy makers) do not know what to expect of ABSS and how much it can be relied upon for their purposes. Another aspect is that ABSS is applied sporadically to many different application areas and is used for many different purposes, so that uniform standards have not been developed. Some standards, such as ODD, have emerged but do not cover all aspects of ABSS. This session is to start a discussion as to what standards ABSS needs and how we, collectively, might go about developing them.

Simulating Crime
Crime science is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on understanding crime events with the primary aim of reducing their occurrence and associated harms. As a discipline, crime science prides itself on bringing together insights from the social, natural, formal, and applied sciences to support these efforts. Over the last 15 years, crime scientists have become increasingly interested in how social simulation can support their understanding of crime events, and potential responses to them. In this talk, I will discuss research I’ve undertaken employing individual-based models to study crime. These studies range from using models to test criminological theory, through developing ‘thinking tools’ for crime prevention, to applied decision support systems. The models discussed are used to explore the dynamics of diverse crime-related problems, from the role urban morphology plays in crime pattern formation, to understanding international illicit firearms networks, and how police forces respond to the broad range of roles they are asked to play in society each day. To conclude, drawing on the work of a number of colleagues, I put forward several key propositions about crime that I believe simulation modellers should know – with the hope of convincing you to become involved in this exciting application area for social simulation.
