Abstract

This paper presents an Agent Based Modeling Framework that seeks to provide a generic model that can be used to simulate any internet based business. The model captures the unique characteristics that define how online users interact, share information, and take product adoption decisions. This model can be used to simulate business performance, make business forecasts, and test business strategies. To demonstrate the applicability of the model, we choose two social networks with opposing scales: Facebook and a startup educational social network—weduc.pt.
