Family Shops
Paolo Pellizzari has traveled around the world in the quest of small family shops. He visited cities such as La Havana, La Paz, Odessa, Addis Ababa, Los Angeles, New York, London, Shanghai, Hanoi and many others. The purpose of the book is twofold. First, he wants to show what he calls the "Eco-Diversity" of the world, that all these little businesses reflect passion, culture, taste, often happiness and balance. His work is not naTve, his subjects are vulnerable, sometimes fragile against the changes of our society and our consumer habits. Pellizzari also has a lot of respect for his subjects. They can teach us basic rules of commerce forgotten in our modern world. Each shop owner is treated as an artist with his masterpiece at his back. Each strategy is clear and readable. For his work Paolo Pellizzari uses a panoramic camera in order to capture all the details making the picture. The book is illustrated with quotes from leaders in the retail industry making it inspiring material for all those interested in commerce or who identify themselves as talented retailers.
Tours of the World
In the year 2000 Paolo Pellizzari had the opportunity to follow the Tour de France and published a book called La France du Tour . With the support of the International Cycling Union and National Cycling Federations, he spent three years following many different cycling tours that took him all over the world. This book is composed of ninety superb colour photographs from seventeen cycling tours in many different countries. The diversity of the landscapes and crowds, captured here on film, are fantastic. It shows the extraordinary popularity of cycling in the world and demonstrates its free spirit.

Progress in Artificial Economics
Artificial economics aims to provide a generative approach to understanding problems in economics and social sciences. It is based on the consistent use of agent-based models and computational techniques. It encompasses a rich variety of techniques that generalize numerical analysis, mathematical programming, and micro-simulations. The peer-reviewed contributions in this volume address applications of artificial economics to markets and trading, auctions, networks, management, industry sectors, macroeconomics, and demographics and culture.
Artificial Economics
Simulation is used in economics to solve large econometric models, for large-scale micro simulations, and to obtain numerical solutions for policy design in top-down established models. But these applications fail to take advantage of the methods offered by artificial economics (AE) through artificial intelligence and distributed computing. AE is a bottom-up and generative approach of agent-based modelling developed to get a deeper insight into the complexity of economics. AE can be viewed as a very elegant and general class of modelling techniques that generalize numerical economics, mathematical programming and micro simulation approaches. The papers presented in this book address methodological questions and applications of AE to macroeconomics, industrial organization, information and learning, market dynamics, finance and financial markets.
Advances in Practical Applications of Scalable Multi-agent Systems. The PAAMS Collection
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Practical Applications of Scalable Multi-agent Systems, PAAMS 2016, held in Sevilla, Spain, in June 2016. The 9 revised full papers, 10 short papers, and 16 Demo papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions (39 full paper and 19 Demo paper submissions. The papers report on the application and validation of agent-based models, methods, and technologies in a number of key application areas, including day life and real world, energy and networks, human and trust, markets and bids, models and tools, negotiation and conversation, scalability and resources.
Complexity and Artificial Markets
In recent years, agent-based simulation has become a widely accepted tool when dealing with complexity in economics and other social sciences. The contributions presented in this book apply agent-based methods to derive results from complex models related to market mechanisms, evolution, decision making, and information economics. In addition, the applicability of agent-based methods to complex problems in economics is discussed from a methodological perspective. The papers presented in this collection combine approaches from economics, finance, computer science, natural sciences, philosophy, and cognitive sciences.
Artificial Markets Modeling
This volume features contributions to agent-based computational modeling from the social sciences and computer sciences. It presents applications of methodologies and tools, focusing on the uses, requirements, and constraints of agent-based models used by social scientists. Topics include agent-based macroeconomics, the emergence of norms and conventions, the dynamics of social and economic networks, and behavioral models in financial markets.
Computational Methods in Economic Dynamics
This volume is centered around the issue of market design and resulting market dynamics. The economic crisis of 2007-2009 has once again highlighted the importance of a proper design of market protocols and institutional details for economic dynamics and macroeconomics. Papers in this volume capture institutional details of particular markets, behavioral details of agents' decision making as well as spillovers between markets and effects to the macroeconomy. Computational methods are used to replicate and understand market dynamics emerging from interaction of heterogeneous agents, and to develop models that have predictive power for complex market dynamics. Finally treatments of overlapping generations models and differential games with heterogeneous actors are provided.
