Agent Based approach to design Training and Simulation Games
ABSS
• to cope with a complex environment similar to real social systems
ABSG
• to check the educational effectiveness of the model

Agent Based Design of Training and Simulation Games: Educational check
Test• comparing the
discovered behavioral model with the simulation model
Design• linking the behavioral
model of each agent with well know models
• validating the emergent behavior of the system by means of a comparison with theoretically valid models at the aggregate level

Some numbers of the trials..
4 country (Italy, Spain, Finland and Slovenia)
5 languages (game and educational resources)
more then 400 students involved in the survey on entrepreneurial potential
more then 120 students involved in the serious game trial
about 50 educational forms more then 2000 hours of in class
activities
