Echo Implemented: A Model for Complex Adaptive Systems Computer Experimentation
- Sandia National Laboratories
This paper provides an overview John Holland's Echo model, describes an implementation of the model, documents results from preliminary experiments using the model, and proposes further research in using Echo to study complex adaptive systems. Echo simulates the behavior of complex adaptive systems and can provide an experimental testbed for exploring theories of, and developing tools useful for analyzing these systems. Preliminary results indicate that the dynamic behavior of Echo can be used to generate interesting, time-series data that will be useful for evaluating the applicability of and developing tools, techniques, and possibly general theories, for the analysis of specific complex adaptive systems.
