CAMO: An Agentic Framework for Automated Causal Discovery from Micro Behaviors to Macro Emergence in LLM Agent Simulations
Xiangning Yu, Yuwei Guo, Yuqi Hou +2
LLM-empowered agent simulations are increasingly used to study social emergence, yet the micro-to-macro causal mechanisms behind macro outcomes often remain unclear. This is challe…
Invariant Causal Routing for Governing Social Norms in Online Market Economies
Xiangning Yu, Qirui Mi, Xiao Xue +4
Social norms are stable behavioral patterns that emerge endogenously within economic systems through repeated interactions among agents. In online market economies, such norms -- l…
From Agent Simulation to Social Simulator: A Comprehensive Review (Part 2)
Xiao Xue, Deyu Zhou, Ming Zhang +2
The study of system complexity primarily has two objectives: to explore underlying patterns and to develop theoretical explanations. Pattern exploration seeks to clarify the mechan…
From Agent Simulation to Social Simulator: A Comprehensive Review (Part 1)
Xiao Xue, Deyu Zhou, Ming Zhang +1
This is the first part of the comprehensive review, focusing on the historical development of Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) and its classic cases. It begins by discussing the developm…
Emotional Cognitive Modeling Framework with Desire-Driven Objective Optimization for LLM-empowered Agent in Social Simulation
Qun Ma, Xiao Xue, Xuwen Zhang +3
The advent of large language models (LLMs) has enabled agents to represent virtual humans in societal simulations, facilitating diverse interactions within complex social systems.…
A Survey on Agentic Service Ecosystems: Measurement, Analysis, and Optimization
Xuwen Zhang, Xiao Xue, Xia Xie +5
The Agentic Service Ecosystem consists of heterogeneous autonomous agents (e.g., intelligent machines, humans, and human-machine hybrid systems) that interact through resource exch…
