In k-SDSS, agents represent actors in the I-US theatre.

The k-SDSS scaffold model consists of different actors modelled as "real agents" with social behaviour: Town, Landfill and Companies.

Town is a single agent representing the urban source of waste. Generates specific amounts of waste types A-E, which can vary probabilistically over time. Can form links to supply waste to compatible companies set in the waste exchange configuration matrix tailored for each EcoSite. The non-localized model is build around a realistic but generic waste exchange matrix.

Landfill is single agent acting as the default sink for unexchanged waste.

Companies represent industrial entities within the I-US region.

All agents are modelled to implement their internal behaviour rules, to respond to I-US internal patterns
and to react to the effects of external influence.
Real agents are all modelled around a stay-or-leave key-rule.
Abstract agents' behavioural rules depend on the role of each agent type.
