The essential textbook on agent-based modeling-now fully updated
and expanded Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling has become
the standard textbook on the subject for classroom use and
self-instruction. Drawing on the latest version of NetLogo and
fully updated with new examples, exercises, and an enhanced text
for easier comprehension, this is the essential resource for anyone
seeking to understand how the dynamics of biological, social, and
other complex systems arise from the characteristics of the agents
that make up these systems. Steven Railsback and Volker Grimm lead
students stepwise through the processes of designing, programming,
documenting, and doing scientific research with agent-based models,
focusing on the adaptive behaviors that make these models
necessary. They cover the fundamentals of modeling and model
analysis, introduce key modeling concepts, and demonstrate how to
implement them using NetLogo. They also address pattern-oriented
modeling, an invaluable strategy for modeling real-world problems
and developing theory. This accessible and authoritative book
focuses on modeling as a tool for understanding real complex
systems. It explains how to pose a specific question, use
observations from actual systems to design models, write and test
software, and more. A hands-on introduction that guides students
from conceptual design to computer implementation to analysis
Filled with new examples and exercises and compatible with the
latest version of NetLogo Ideal for students and researchers across
the natural and social sciences Written by two leading
practitioners Supported by extensive instructional materials at
