Trying to find some good review of agent-based models and networks, specifically models that are defined by a graph of interacting nodes, that covers analysis of collective behavior based on model of individual behavior and a model if interaction. Keywords would be: opinion dynamics, correlated behavior, phase transitions in complex networks. Are there any surveys or books that cover modern advances in this area?

This is just out (April 2015): An Introduction to Agent-Based Modeling
Agent-based modeling attempts to understand natural and social phenomena by recreating them in computer simulations, showing how high-level, macroscopic properties, such as crystal formation, tumor shape, flocking, population cycles, social coordination, and transportation networks, can spontaneously emerge from lower-level interactions among agents rather than being explicitly programmed into a model.
