Dear Lyndon
I come back from home leave and see your email. I do not know whether
members of this list already sent you answers. I think that in the following
references you will have some elements on "how" the inquiries were
conducted.

Objet : Conducting participative MAS inquiry
Greetings all,
it appears to me agent-based thinking can be applied as a conceptual
tool, a framework for participatory inquiry or via computational
models, probably in combination. My research interest is in industry
development in contested landscapes. I am interested particularly in
'sustainable industries' including renewable energy and tree-based
industries. I find agent-based thinking useful conceptually, and
would like to try participative approaches, and perhaps computational
approaches in the future.
I have read material by Olivier Barreteau, Claudia Pahl-Wostl and
colleagues but they talk mostly on the findings, not **how** to
conduct these participative agent-based experiments, role-play games
etc. I used to do similar work years ago under the banner of TQM
(Total Quality Management) or Quality Circles, but these were
considerably simpler methods.
Any clues on where I could find some practical information on conduct
of these inquiries?
Regards,
Lyndon Zimmermann
