Abstract—This article presents results of a study on agent-based models, which are employed to simulate socioeconomic systems using supercomputer technologies and geographic information systems. Foreign and domestic experience on controlling the development of socioeconomic space as a socioeconomic system is generalized. By reviewing international experience in assessing the performance of management systems, including control of socioeconomic systems, the content of the notions agent-based models and geographic information systems and their actors and subjects are analyzed. By the example of agent-based models, developed with the participation of the authors of this article, the characteristic features of their implementation are specified on the basis of geographic information systems.

Keywords: quality of life, economics of quality, monitoring, agent models, agent-based models (ABMs), mathematical modeling, geographic information systems (GIS).
