There is still a lot of confusion between and even within the domains about what ABM is, what to use it for, and that there are different approaches of doing ABM (in the different domains) that might complement each other. Coming from Computer Science I have been trying to convince Behavioural Economists that using concepts from Computer Science and Social Simulation can be useful for creating Economics Agent-Based Models. It’s hard work ;-).
One bottleneck challenge is to find ways to communicate and share the model with other people, especially with non-experts. For example, I would like to share it with other researchers and stakeholders for collaborative activities aimed at developing and validating the model.
