Analyzing the Parameters of Prey-Predator Models for Simulation Games

摘要

We describe and analyze emergent behavior and its effect for a class of prey-predators' simulation models. The simulation uses rule-based agent behavior and follows a prey-predator structure modulated by a number of user-assigned parameters. As part of our analysis, we present key parameter estimations for mapping the prey-predators' simulation parameters to a functional relationship with the LV(Lotka-Volterra) model, and how the parameters interact and drive the evolution of the simulation.
