Abstract :
Simulating based on multi-agent system (MAS) is a new research tool for the order of nature, especially for ecosystem and life-form evolvement. This paper put forward a MAS-based single-species life-form ecosystem model to simulate evolvement of ecosystem. With the model, we can study on a set of social problems which exist in single-species society, such as how environment affects individual belief; concerned with certain individual ability level, what optimal scale of cooperating group is; what about the relationship between individual size and its adaptability. The zoological society has certain similarity to human society, so study on these problems can help us to interpret society of ourselves. Further, homothetic case also exists in many other situation, such as virus spread, enterprise competition. This nonobjective model can be utilized in broad application fields
