Abstract

This paper presents some results obtained through the modeling of a multiagent system for the simulation of production and social management processes of an urban ecosystem: the San Jerónimo Vegetable Garden (HSJ) of Seville, Spain. The social organization of HSJ is based on the performance of periodic routines by the organizational roles, and also on periodic norms that regulates their behaviors. For the modeling this kind of periodicity, that are commonly observed in social system, we used a combination of tools to offer a suitable solution, as the MOISE+ (part of JaCaMo platform) and the MSPP (Modeling and Simulation of Public Policies) framework. Although those tools separately present limitations for the modeling of periodic actions and norms associated to the performance of those actions, they can be used in a combined way, where the norms are specified in the MSPP framework, which support periodicity, and the normalized routines in the MOISE+ model.
