Introduction to companion modelling and multi-agent systems for integrated natural resource management in Asia
This introductory chapter recalls the origins of this publication at the interface between the personal interest of several colleagues from different Southeast Asian countries and a growing interest in methodological innovation in the field of integrated natural resource management (INRM) in the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research. The historical development of the so-called "companion modeling" (ComMod) approach relying on the use of multi-agent systems (MAS) for INRM is also described, and its main principles and objectives are defined: to develop simulation models integrating various stakeholders' points of view and to use them within the context of platforms for collective learning. The ComMod methodology used to facilitate such a process in INRM is presented, with an emphasis on the combination of key tools used with stakeholders, such as conceptual models, MAS, and role-playing games. A final section introduces the diversity of the Asian experiences presented in this book and its content.
