“…Netlogo [30], SOARS [16], EURACE [15], [21], ASPEN [31], Jamel [32], and other simulators and frameworks have been prepared to deal with this problem. However, even these frameworks require a high level of programming ability to realize the researcher's ideas.…”

“…It is near impossible to calculate such complex processing by human effort or simple spreadsheet software; therefore, a simulation program needs to be created using a programming language. The research costs involved in creating a simulation program have been considered a major challenge since the undertaking of ABM research, and several modeling tools have been developed [15], [16]. However, the model structure of ACE is often more complex than ABM, so sophisticated programming skills are required even with these modeling tools.…”

Agent-based computational economics has been attracting attention as a method in recent years; however, its model structures tend to become complex due to the coexistence of systems for decision-making and those involved in financial transactions. This means that a large amount of effort is required at each stage of the research. This study uses accounting-related concepts to develop a framework that extends bookkeeping notation and functionality to express the relationships between monetary entities in the model, which improves the working efficiency of Agentbased computational economics research. A case study of actual model construction is presented. The introduction of accounting-related systems can enable the separation of decision-making interaction systems from those involved in financial transactions to clearly express without misinterpretation, and "who performs what actions to whom and how such actions affect the state variables of each entity." This improves the effectiveness of the model design, programming, and simulation phases and enables descriptions that are less likely to be misinterpreted by the reader when the results are published.

: Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a program development method designed for experts in modeling, but not in programming, and it has not been widely accepted yet. In this paper, we propose a new program development method that enables modeling experts to develop a program based on the dynamic model description in accordance with the modeling method in their domain. Furthermore, we discuss the structure of a programming language specialized for this modeling method and the modeling environment to develop this new program development method.

“…SOARS, a domain specific language under agent-based simulation model frame, was developed by Deguchi Laboratory of Tokyo Institute of Technology since 2004 [9,12,13] and continued to evolve. Since its simulation engine is a textbased programming language, programming skills by the text editor are required in order to construct models.…”

In this paper, we discuss how to build a model by SOARS VisualShell intuitively and explain its architecture. SOARS (Agent based simulation modeling language) SOARS Project (http://www.soars.jp), Tanuma et al. (Post-proceedings of AESCS04. Springer, Japan, pp 49-56, 2004) and Tanuma and Deguchi (Inst Electron Inf Commun Eng D J90-D(9): [2415][2416][2417][2418][2419][2420][2421][2422] 2007) is a programming language to model social phenomena by agent-based simulation. We aim to make SOARS a simulation description language by which a domain expert can simulate social interactions occurred in the real world by ones conceptual model intuitively. Therefore, a support tool for realizing and achieving specialized concepts is necessary for a domain expert to build and run a simulation model based on his/her only domain knowledge without possessing complex programming skill, and SOARS VisualShell is an application to support such intuitive modeling by SOARS. BackgroundIn this paper, we focus on the agent-based simulation modeling of social phenomena. By agent-based simulation, we can model a system composed of agents who make decisions autonomously, and simulate the interactions between them. On the other hand, big data analysis is becoming more important in IoT era, for experts in divergent fields, and it is becoming challenging yet promising to construct an agent-based simulation model by applying the big data [3]. We consider it important to design IoT or IoE, which handle the interrelationship among autonomous agents such as real person and things on the internet, by using agentbased simulation. As we have already implemented Pub/Sub(the standard protocol for IoT) library for SOARS, it is possible to communicate the agent of IoT through the broker [1].T. Kurata ( ) • H. Deguchi • M.
