Pseudocode No The paper describes methods and procedures in prose and uses mathematical equations, but it does not contain structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide concrete access to source code (e.g., a specific repository link or an explicit code release statement) for the methodology described.
Open Datasets No The paper states: "We generate graphs of size N = 250 of each of the four topologies random, regular, small world, and scale free, for different average degrees, while ensuring that the graph is connected." This describes the generation of synthetic data/networks based on models, not the use of or provision of a publicly available dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper performs simulations and analyzes outcomes but does not describe specific training, validation, or testing dataset splits in the context of machine learning model evaluation.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., exact GPU/CPU models, processor types with speeds, memory amounts, or detailed computer specifications) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific ancillary software details (e.g., library or solver names with version numbers) needed to replicate the experiment.
Experiment Setup Yes We generate graphs of size N = 250 of each of the four topologies random, regular, small world, and scale free, for different average degrees, while ensuring that the graph is connected. Agents accuracy and effort are initialized randomly with qi N(0.75, 0.05) and qi ei 0.5. We average results over 2500 simulations for each setting (25 randomly generated graphs 100 initializations).
