Abstract
Most of the grand challenges of humanity today involve complex agent-based systems, such as epidemiology, economics or ecology. However, remains as a pending task the challenge of identifying the general principles underlying the self-organizing capabilities of those complex systems. This article presents a novel modeling approach capable to self-deploy both the system structure and the activities for goal-driven agents that can take appropriate actions to achieve their goals. Humans, robots, and animals are all endowed with this type of behavior. Self-organization is shown to emerge from the decisions of a common rational activity algorithm based on the information of a system-specific goals dependency network. The unique self-deployment feature of this systematic approach can boost considerably the range and depth of application of agent-based modeling.
