Building art ificial societies by combining the multi-agent sys tems view and domain knowledge has become a challe nge, because of the complexity involved.

Socio -technical systems are complex adaptive entities t hat\n require the engagement of social and te chnical elements in an\n environment to reach certain goals. In order to understand,\n ana lyze or design such systems, advanced tools are re quired. One\n of the major tools for understa nding socio-technical systems is\n agent-base d modeling. In recent years, social scientists,\n including economists and policy makers, have been using\n agent-based models to tackle the ir problem domains. Building\n artificial soc ieties by combining the multi-agent systems view\n and domain knowledge has become a challenge, because of the\n complexity involved.\n
