title = "The effect of heterogeneous agents in socio-cognitive networks",
abstract = "Many network simulations have used homogenous agents, that is, the population of agents is of one type. This study examined if heterogeneous agents created different socio-cognitive networks than homogeneous agents. Here, cognitive agents in a simple virtual world through their interactions formed networks. The agents were different in movement strategies and starting locations. We found that: (a) the difference between homogeneous agents and heterogeneous agents, and (b) the starting locations of agents, both affect network formation. The result of heterogeneous agents in network formation is different from the average results of homogeneous agents and indicates heterogeneity fundamentally changes network formation. Consequently, future network simulation should include heterogeneous agents.",
