ITIS 8110 - Agent-Based Modeling


Discusses the definition of an agent-based model, the components of a model, the implementation of a model, the comparison of an agent-based model to an equation‑based model, the relationship to complex adaptive systems, and the details of how to use NetLogo to actually implement a model.  Identifies when agent-based modeling is preferred over equation-based modeling.  Also describes similarities and differences between the two techniques. After taking this course, students, once a complex adaptive system has been identified, are able to identify a suitable environment for a model, identify the key agents of the system, identify the key behaviors of those agents, and implement a model to illustrate the complex adaptive nature of the system with NetLogo.
