Agent-based models (ABMs) simulate the formation and evolution of social processes at a fundamental level by decoupling agent behavior from global observations. In the case where ABM networks evolve over time as a result of (or in conjunction with) agent states, there is a need for understanding the relationship between the dynamic processes and network structure. Social networks provide a natural set of tools for understanding the emergent relationships of these systems. This work examines the utility of a collection of network comparison methods for the purpose of tracking network changes in an ABM over time or between model parameters. Among the techniques examined is a novel graph pseudometric based on heat content asymptotics, which have been shown to distinguish many isospectral graphs which are not isomorphic. Additionally, we establish the use of observations about real-world networks from network science (e.g. fat-tailed degree distribution, small-world property) for ABM validation in the case where empirical population data is unavailable. These methods are all demonstrated on systematic perturbations of an original model simulating the formation of friendships in a population of 20,000 agents in Cincinnati, OH.
