Featured Models

Axelrod_Cultural_Dissemination.png

Axelrod_Cultural_Dissemination

The Axelrod's model of cultural dissemination is an agent-model designed to investigate the dissemination of culture among interacting agents on a society.

An Agent-Based Model of Status Construction in Task Focused Groups

The model simulates interactions in small, task focused groups that might lead to the emergence of status beliefs among group members.

Artificial Anasazi

Replication of the well known Artificial Anasazi model that simulates the population dynamics between 800 and 1350 in the Long House Valley in Arizona.

A model of environmental awareness spread and its effect in resource consumption reduction

The model reproduces the spread of environmental awareness among agents and the impact of awareness level of the agents on the consumption of a resource, like energy. An agent is a household with a set of available advanced smart metering functions.

Torsten Hägerstrand’s Spatial Innovation Diffusion Model

This model is a replication of Torsten Hägerstrand's 1965 model--one of the earliest known calibrated and validated simulations with implicit "agent based" methodology.

MOOvPOPsurveillance

MOOvPOPsurveillance was developed as a tool for wildlife agencies to guide collection and analysis of disease surveillance data that relies on non-probabilistic methods like harvest-based sampling.

Our Community

CoMSES Net is dedicated to fostering open and reproducible scientific computation through cyberinfrastructure and community development. We develop and curate resources for model-based science with FAQs and forums for discussions, job postings, and events. We also develop and maintain the CoMSES Computational Model Library, a digital repository for code that supports discovery and good practices for software citation, reproducibility and reuse.

Postdoctoral Researcher

The Department of Management at Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University, invites applications for a 3-year postdoc position in the Novo Nordisk Foundation-funded project “PlantTip” focusing on modelling food consumer behavior and policy responses. The position comes with an earmarked travel and training budget, and will be part of a generally well-funded project with access to HPCs and local LLMs. The position is full-time research but teaching can be negotiated if candidates are interested.

MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship in AI for the Development and Optimization of Real Agent-based Models

UAB invites applications for a fellowship focused on the development and optimization of real ABMs applications and extending the synthetic agent-based models for performance evaluation. At the application domain level, the potential of agent-based modelling (ABMs) for realistic simulation of social networks makes it important to define optimization policies that consider the specific characteristics of this type of application.
