Table 1 Selected strengths and weaknesses of L-systems vs. agent-based systems
From: Interactively illustrating polymerization using three-level model fusion
Modeling approach | Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|
L-systems | Suitable for modeling structures from empirical knowledge. | Limitations writing the creation of structure from stochastically behaved individual entities. |
Agent-based systems | Ability to simulate a stochastic environment. | The global effect, resulting from the interaction of the individuals, is quite unpredictable. |
