Agent-based modeling is predominantly used in academic, research, and technology sectors in both Brazil and the USA. It's a technical term more common in computer science, economics, ecology, and organizational studies. In Brazil, the term is increasingly adopted in universities and tech companies, particularly in São Paulo's tech ecosystem. The concept represents the shift from traditional top-down analysis to understanding systems through simulation of individual actors' behaviors.
