Scientists in this discipline have developed some intriguing theoretical frameworks for the use of such models and for describing their limitations, and here we see how these ideas can inform our own quest for a useful framework for computational models.

We will then investigate the methodological difficulties faced by modellers in this area, as well as the philosophical implications of an agent-based approach to the study of human social systems.

Model-Based Demography in Practice: Isis. In this chapter, we will investigate some demographic models which have used agent-based approaches successfully to produce useful insight. We will discuss their methods and results in detail, and outline how these models have used simulation to push us closer to a model-based demography.
