A comprehensive and hands-on introduction to the core concepts,
methods, and applications of agent-based modeling, including
detailed NetLogo examples. The advent of widespread fast computing
has enabled us to work on more complex problems and to build and
analyze more complex models. This book provides an introduction to
one of the primary methodologies for research in this new field of
knowledge. Agent-based modeling (ABM) offers a new way of doing
science: by conducting computer-based experiments. ABM is
applicable to complex systems embedded in natural, social, and
engineered contexts, across domains that range from engineering to
ecology. An Introduction to Agent-Based Modeling offers a
comprehensive description of the core concepts, methods, and
applications of ABM. Its hands-on approach-with hundreds of
examples and exercises using NetLogo-enables readers to begin
constructing models immediately, regardless of experience or
discipline. The book first describes the nature and rationale of
agent-based modeling, then presents the methodology for designing
and building ABMs, and finally discusses how to utilize ABMs to
answer complex questions. Features in each chapter include
step-by-step guides to developing models in the main text; text
boxes with additional information and concepts; end-of-chapter
explorations; and references and lists of relevant reading. There
is also an accompanying website with all the models and code.
