User Communities

• modelling@swarm.org: The email community of agent-based modelers. This email list discusses topics of general interest to agent-based modelers. We encourage participation by users of any (or no) software platforms. For additional information, too see the archives, or to sign up, go here.

• SwarmFest. SwarmFest is SDG's annual agent-based modeling conference. SwarmFest is informal, interdisciplinary, non-denominational (users of Repast, NetLogo, etc. and even FORTRAN are welcome), and international. SwarmFest is an excellent place to present new or tentative results, talk about methodological issues, and meet new collaborators.

Software Resources

• Software tools: What is available? A fairly up-to-date page of links to software tools for agent-based modeling

• Reviews and comparisons of ABM software: Citations for papers or web sites providing comparisons of software platforms

Why and How to do Agent-based and Individual-based Modeling

Should I use an ABM for my research? How would I design it, and apply it to my research problems? Can I do "theory" with an ABM? How do I get started?

• A short list of literature on general ABM design and use issues

Domain-Specific Resources

Our intent is to provide links to "domain central" sites: places where you can find lots of information and links specific to agent-based modeling in one scientific domain.

• Leigh Tesfatsion's Agent-based Computational Economics site is an up-to-date, extensive resource for economists.

• Some domain-specific links; please add your project.
