you can find one comparison of ABM and EBM (equation-based,
i.e. system dynamics modeling) in this paper:
Agent-Based Modeling vs. Equation-Based Modeling: A Case Study and Users
Guide. Parunak, V., Savit, R., Riolo, R. Proceedings of Workshop on
Multi-agent systems and Agent-based Simulation (MABS'98), Springer, 1998.
Center for Electronic Commerce Paper CEC-0 115.
There is a pointer it at
http://www.pscs.umich.edu/research/techReports.html
under the 1998 papers.
There are more references to books related to (modeling of)
complex adaptive systems (CAS) at
