Anticipating Systems in Demography
p. 243-249
Abstract
We will talk about models with an intelligent element inside. The intelligent element makes some predictions using the future stage of model which it is a part. The first model contains a process of driver or passenger decision making. Such process is not anticipatory necessarily but it is possible to presume that the driver or passenger tries to simulate his route. The second example refers demography. There is a complex model describing demographic processes using discrete simulation. We created an authority simulating the progress in this area and advising the citizens. Citizens may be convinced to leave the city. The nested model is much more alike to the main one in this case; this system can be called anticipatory with no doubt.
