Two visualization tools for analyzing agent-based simulations in political science

IEEE Comput Graph Appl. 2012 Jan-Feb;32(1):67-77. doi: 10.1109/MCG.2011.90.

Abstract

MDSVis (Multidimensional Scaling Visualization) lets analysts explore the simulation space of agent-based models, finding similar patterns at an aggregated level and finding the dominant factors affecting agent behavior. SocialVis lets analysts narrow their analysis to a single simulation run, exploring relationships between time steps and geographic regions.
