Abstract

This paper deals with new approach to modeling of the socio-economic systems. In
these types of models, there are many interacting entities (agents, players). The
whole market comes up as the result of these interacts. In the sense of the
economy, this conception is based on the Subject-Need-Good triad. The subject in
this model represents an economical subject with its needs that can be satisfied
by a consummation of a good. In the sense of computational modeling, this
conception is based on the DEVS formalism, where each subject is represented by
one coupled DEVS. This coupled DEVS contains several atomic DEVS. There are only
three types of the atomic DEVS - Generator/Store, Transformer and Optimizer. The
basic process of the conception is the Transformation that changes one type of
a good to any other, or that uses a good to satisfaction of a need. This
experimental frame will be used for design and development a new dynamic approach
based on dynamic petri nets.
