Abstract

This paper presents a set of algorithms for trade modeling with cellular automata (CA). The cellular automata simulator developed for this purpose has allowed the study of phenomena that occur within groups of agents that operate in a dynamic resource field. With this cellular automata simulator algorithms have been developed and tested for clustering of agents in agencies and for studying phenomena within agencies. It was thus evident that within agencies the agents try to group in the neighborhood of leading and rich agents with high performance, in order to learn from them the best rules. In terms of hierarchy, the results show that the places in the immediate neighborhood of the agents with leading positions can be occupied only by agents with wealth.
