This 2-week summer school is about learning the different skills required for building agent-based models for renewable resources management. The first week focuses on general background lectures and learning of UML and platforms. The second week is dedicated to the design and implementation of a model on a platform. The various models built by the different groups are then presented to all the participant at the ned of the training session.

Tobias Schröder and I are running a workshop on Monday 23rd September at the Social Simulation conference in Mainz later this year. Please come along!

The course covers a range of conceptual and practical aspects of modelling and is designed around a practical tutorial which allows students to learn NetLogo through programming a real social sci[…]

Agent-based computational (ABC) modeling is a relatively new approach to research in the social sciences. In ABC modeling, societal phenomena such as the emergence of social institutions, […]

Did you ever feel as the only agent-based modeller in your research institute? Do you wonder whether to use Netlogo or any other ABM platform? Are you struggling with writing your ODD? Do you wan[…]

Spring 2018’s Complexity Challenge will be an updated and more sophisticated take on a classic SFI Optimization problem.

This time around, in addition to a written solution to the Challenge, we’ll also be running an optional NetLogo Tournament. Check the website for updated details on how to enter the tournament and win a prize!

Jointly organised by the ESLS PhD Programme in Economic Sociology and Labour Studies, the Behave Lab (University of Milan) and GECS - Research Group on Experimental and Computational Sociology (U[…]
