Method evidence record

Agent-based goal programming

Agent-Based Goal Programming (ABGP) integrates agent-based simulation with goal programming optimization to model systems where multiple autonomous decision-makers pursue competing, prioritized goals. It enables researchers to study how decentralized, adaptive behavior at the agent level leads to system-level outcomes measured against predefined targets, capturing both emergence and multi-criteria satisfaction simultaneously.
