Beschreibung Kursinhalt: 

The future availability of local information in real time will fundamentally change the process of individual decision making in complex systems, which are composed of many interacting parts showing a collective emergent behaviour. The relatively new science of agent-based modelling and non-random networks seems to offer promising tools to support decision-making in these situations, as it explicitly models the heterogeneity of the objects, which can adapt and interact in time and space.

The objective of the lecture is to give doctoral candidates an introduction to the
capabilities and the process of agent-based modelling and simulation as well as of modelling static and dynamic networks with the help of a big number of relevant models from different disciplines.

Acquired competencies:

  • Awareness and basic understanding of complexity as one of the biggest challenges of the agent society
  • Basics of agent-based modelling and simulation methods
  • Basics of modelling static and dynamic networks
  • Proficiency in selecting and applying the appropriate methods and tools for simulation, like NetLogo or Gephi

Applied methods:
The seminar will be a mixture of lectures, demonstration of cases and group work. Please reserve about 4 hours on June 9 to build a model.

Prof. André Krischke will conduct this course in English.

Prof. Dr. André Krischke has studied Business Administration at the University of Hagen and Mechanical Engineering at the Technische Universität München. After completing his PhD in Chemical Engineering under Prof. Vortmeyer, he worked as a business consultant and project manager at McKinsey & Co., Inc and as a Global Supply Chain Manager at OSRAM GmbH Munich. Prof. Dr. Krischke has been a professor for Supply Chain Management at the University of Applied Sciences, Munich since 2006.
