This group of postgrads and academic staff meets fortnightly during term to discuss modelling of the interaction between human and other environmental systems, using agent-based techniques to represent aspects of human behaviour.
For more details, please contact Mike Bithell.
The following examples are the source code from the current set of workshops on using netlogo for building spatial models:
- Setting up some simple defaults
- Langton’s Ant – a simple cellular automaton (CA)
- The Schelling segregation model as a CA
- Conway’s Game of Life
- System Dynamics – A simple disease model
- A first model with agents – simple pursuit
- Flocking as a simple example of collective motion
- Links and networks
- One way to implement the subsumption architecture
- Some examples of file output and input
- Illustrating the use of the GIS extension–data file
- 3D visualization of the sugarscape–With a file for drawing a flat tile
