Abstract
Agent-based simulation (ABS) has been a popular tool in various science and engineering domains. Simulating emergent behavior is one main usage of ABS. This paper investigates the use of interaction statistics as a metric for detecting emergent behaviors from ABS. An emergent behavior arises if this interaction metric deviates from normality.
