config behavioral file descriptions

The behaviors and attributes of the agents and of the simulation are described by the file in config/behavioral. This page will describe what each file in this directory does and some attributes in it as an example.

condition.csv

This file is responsible for declaring conditional states that the simulation or the agent may have. For example, this file may declare when an agent is considered "at work" or when the simulation has the attribute "is evac"

Parameters

target

This described who will have this condition, the agent or the simulation.

name

Name of the condition.

attribute

In order for the target to have this condition, an attribute must be checked (otherwise this condition would be a simple attribute). This parameter defines the attributed that will be checked.

There is special case, this attribute can be called random, and in that case, the value to be checked is generated randomly

operator

The comparison operator. [equal, not_equal, less_than, greate_than]

value

The value that the previously specified attribute will be compared to. This value can also be a pointer to another attribute, in this case, it should start with $

min/max

If the attribute parameter is random, these fields will determine the interval of the random generator

type

The type of the elements to be compared.

profession.csv

Describes the possible professions, their workplaces and work hours, and the distribution of the agents that will have each profession.

attributes/attribute_basic.csv

Describes numerical attributes that the simulation or every agent will have.

attributes/attribute_option.csv

Describes categorical attributes of the simulation or the agents. This means that each attribute will have one of the possible values described in this file

attributes/attribute_updateable.csv

This file describes attributes that update each step of the simulation by a set amount. For example, the energy of each agent will decrease for each passing moment of its futile life until it sleeps and restores its energy.

attributes/attribute_schedule.csv

Describes attributes that will only start existing after certain time. This is useful if you want to trigger an infection or evacuation only after some time has passed.

behavior/behavior_normal.csv

Please refer to the Action and Behaviors page.
