		<p>Third day of the Summer School: Wednesday, June 8, 2010. The stars of the day have been&#160;<a href="http://www.redfish.com/stephen.htm" style="color: #8f2533; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; text-decoration: none; border-color: #8f2533;">Stephen Guerin</a>&#160;and&#160;<a href="http://www.redfish.com/owenDensmore.htm" style="color: #8f2533; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; text-decoration: none; border-color: #8f2533;">Owen Densmore</a>. Their hands on demo on Agent Based Modeling convinced us all of the power of this technique. Not only to simulate behavior of ants, flocks or birds, but also to provide solutions for complex social and business problems.</p>

			&quot;The key in agent based modeling is that the logic is decentralized in each of the agents. This way the model comes a big step closer to the real world.&quot; It actually should be the reverse. A (software) system that stays closer to reality inherits some key properties of the real world (coherence, consistency). Most &quot;enterprise systems&quot; and most commercial simulation software have a poor design/architecture in this respect. They reduce activities to &quot;documents, entities, ...&quot; only to be surprised that these systems are inflexible, high-maintenance ...
