Agent-based modeling is a new technique for understanding how the
dynamics of biological, social, and other complex systems arise
from the characteristics and behaviors of the agents making up
these systems. This innovative textbook gives students and
scientists the skills to design, implement, and analyze agent-based
models. It starts with the fundamentals of modeling and provides an
introduction to NetLogo, an easy-to-use, free, and powerful
software platform. Nine chapters then each introduce an important
modeling concept and show how to implement it using NetLogo. The
book goes on to present strategies for finding the right level of
model complexity and developing theory for agent behavior, and for
analyzing and learning from models. Agent-Based and
Individual-Based Modeling features concise and accessible text,
numerous examples, and exercises using small but scientific models.
The emphasis throughout is on analysis--such as software testing,
theory development, robustness analysis, and understanding full
models--and on design issues like optimizing model structure and
finding good parameter values. * The first hands-on introduction to
agent-based modeling, from conceptual design to computer
implementation to parameterization and analysis* Provides an
introduction to NetLogo with nine chapters introducing an important
modeling concept and showing how to implement it using NetLogo *
Filled with examples and exercises, with updates and supplementary
materials at http://www.railsback-grimm-abm-book.com/ * Designed
for students and researchers across the biological and social
sciences * Written by leading practitioners Leading universities
