Based on the agent theory of modeling and simulation, this paper proposes a flexible, scalable and cross-domain framework for simulating complex adaptive systems. After discussion on the design of FFCAS, applications on FFCAS in different complex domains, and empirical results are presented as experimental validation.</p>  a978-0-387-29295-3  a978-0-387-28318-0
