Abstract

This talk will present an approach to agent-oriented modeling that is
helpful for specifying, designing, and implementing complex,
socio-technical systems. Examples in the talk will be drawn from
Tamagotchis and the airport domain. The talk is based on a recently
published book, Sterling & Taveter, The Art of Agent-Oriented
Modeling, published by MIT Press.
