This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Multi-Agent-Based Simulation, MABS 2003, held in Melbourne, Australia as part of AAMAS 2003.
The 11 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on MABS techniques for MAS; economics, exchange, and influence in virtual worlds; MABS techniques for real-world modelling, and understanding and classifying MABS.
