It emphasizes modeling as a tool for "doing science," focusing on solving specific real-world problems rather than just building abstract simulations. Key Methodology: The ODD Protocol
Primarily uses NetLogo , a powerful, free, and accessible platform for building these simulations. Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling: A Pr...
The book focuses on —also known as Individual-Based Models (IBMs) in ecology—which are computer simulations that study how the characteristics and behaviors of individual entities (agents) lead to emergent system-level dynamics. It emphasizes modeling as a tool for "doing
