ABM Resources

Agent- and Individual-based Modeling Resources

This is our main page for resources and information of use to agent-based modelers in general, not just Swarm users. You are encouraged to add relevant items to this page...see the help box below.

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.	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.
