[edit] Why and How to do Agent-based and Individual-based ModelingShould 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? |
[edit] Domain-Specific ResourcesOur 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.
