      abstract = {A major objective of this monograph is to present an  agent-based simulation of artificial populations. The focus  is on possible unexpected or catastrophic events that may  spontaneously appear in simulations. A short recall of the  tenets of the theory of catastrophes is given. Several  examples of artificial society simulations are provided as  the main topic of the book. With agent-based modeling,  possible catastrophes and unexpected events in artificial  populations are simulated. The book presents a new modeling  and simulation tool, applied to social system simulation.  The models are coded in the object- and agent-oriented  language Bluesss (Blues Simulation System), related to the  C++ language. The program code consists of a series of  generic declarations of processes. Each of them includes a  number of events that are coded in C++. At the runtime, a  population of objects is generated. All the objects  (agents) start to execute their own events, and interact  with one another. During the simulations it is possible to  observe the macro-behavior of the population, where some  unexpected or "catastrophic" events occur. The examples  include a stock market crash, catastrophes in extended  prey-predator systems, growing organisms and cancer,  epidemics, social inequality and economic decay,  mass-service systems, and more. Remarks on possible  simultaneous events are also included},
