Modeling and Simulation of CAS for Safety of Agricultural Products under Government Regulation

Abstract:

The safety of agricultural products is a hot issue concerned by the whole society. Safety system of agricultural products is regarded as complex adaptive system in this paper and after analyzing the attributes and behaviors of Government Agent and Farmer Agent, these Agents are all seemed as adaptive agents and their behaviors follow the stimulus--response model. Besides, rule of obtaining profit, rule of changing production strategy, rule of changing honesty and rule of farmer moving are also established. Then based on these rules, a computer program for the system model has been done by Java on Swarm. And through changing the relevant parameters and variables in the model, the measures to improve the safety situation of agricultural products in China are obtained.
