Agent-based simulation and the SiMA (Simulation of the Mental Apparatus & Applications) cognitive architecture can be powerful tools for examining consumer decisions. In order to do so, we will – together with researchers from marketing psychology – develop a parameterizable functional model for simulating human-like behaviour to support marketing strategies. Furthermore, we will run simulations capable of human-like decisions by integrating the dimensions of emotions and social pressure on computational models for consumer choice using multi-agent simulation based on the SiMA agent prototypes and case-based driven agent simulations we have already developed. This will expand the effectiveness of cognitive architectures when modelling consumer choice and provide a starting point for follow-up research that will be concerned with developing decision support tools for testing concrete marketing strategies of environmental friendly electricity products.

Note: Before the 11. of February 2015, the SiMA project was named ARS
