Empirical
This area area stands for explaining possible reasons for observed regularities.
Computational world models
In order for agents to operate in computational worlds, methods and protocols are required. These methods and protocols enable interactions between agents themselves, between agents and the world or artificial institutions e.g. market.[2] In double auction model, agents can have following methods:
getWorldEventSchedule(clock time); getWorldProtocols (collusion, insolvency); getMarketProtocols (posting, matching, trade, settlement);
Learning
In order to capture dynamic nature of real markets agents must be able to learn which means change their behavior according to the situations they encounter. (zdroj) Agents in ACE can use various types of learning algorithms. Selection of an algorithm can fundamentally influence the results of the simulation[3].
