This is an agent-based model that captures the dynamic processes related to moving from an educational system where the school a student attends is based on assignment to a neighborhood school, to one that gives households more choice among existing and newly formed public schools.

Due to teacher requests to represent changes in atomic radius, we developed a visualization of the first 36 elements in Netlogo

In this model, the spread of a virus disease in a network consisting of school pupils, employed, and umemployed people is simulated. The special feature in this model is the distinction between different types of links: family-, friends-, school-, or work-links. In this way, different governmental measures can be implemented in order to decelerate or stop the transmission.

This model is to match students and schools using real-world student admission mechanisms. The mechanisms in this model are serial dictatorship, deferred acceptance, the Boston mechanism, Chinese Parallel, and the Taipei mechanism.

A hybrid predator-prey model of fish and plankton that switches dynamically between ABM and SD representations. It contains 6 related structural designs of the same model.

Fertility Tradeoffs is an agent-based model that examines how parental investment strategies evolve under density-dependent conditions. Humans occupy territories that compete for limited space, and reproduction requires both resources and available territory. Individuals inherit investment strategies that determine how much time and resources are required to raise a child, creating a tradeoff between number of children and investment per child. As space fills, territory costs increase and population growth slows, producing logistic-like dynamics. By manipulating child mortality and resource availability, the model demonstrates how environmental conditions shape both population outcomes and the evolution of reproductive strategies.

Final project version - still needs a bit of work for being completly operational

Status-power dynamics on a playground, resulting in a status landscape with a gender status gap. Causal: individual (beauty, kindness, power), binary (rough-and-tumble; has-been-nice) or prior popularity (status). Cultural: acceptability of fighting.

The General Housing Model demonstrates a basic housing market with bank lending, renters, owners and landlords. This model was developed as a base to which students contributed additional functions during Arizona State University’s 2020 Winter School: Agent-Based Modeling of Social-Ecological Systems.

This theoretical model includes forested polygons and three types of agents: forest landowners, foresters, and peer leaders. Agent rules and characteristics were parameterized from existing literature and an empirical survey of forest landowners.
