Agent based modelling with MatLab

Hi,

I am working on supply network configuration model and agent based modelling is identified as most suitable techniques to model individual behaviour of each supply entity (i.e. suppliers, distributors etc) and their relationships. am curious how far MatLab support to simulate the supply network operations. Please guide me with helpful links/resources. Thanks!

As I understand, you wish to use agent/event based modelling to model a supply network.

As far as I understand, the SimEvents toolbox in MATLAB would be ideal for modelling this kind of system. I could not find an existing example for Supply Network model but you can have a look at the examples in the following link which use SimEvents to model various discrete event system as these might help you get started with building your own model in SimEvents.

• SimEvents for Operations Research
• SimEvents Examples
• Getting started with SimEvents

I hope this helps.

Dear Sir/madam, I am working on Systemic risk assessment of banking networks in Ghana. This topic is somehow related to those conducted by Nier et al;2007 on "Network models and financial stability" Please help me with the codes to the model used by these researcher since I am finding it difficult in reaching them.

Attached is the research file of Nier et al; 2007

thank you.
