Below are a list of resources that I have compiled so far for anyone that is interested:
- Sugarscape: Netlogo JAVA implementations of Sugarscape models. This implementation has pre-programmed defaults that re-create the animations from Growing Artificial Societies. Also includes some basic documentation and references for those interested in more detail. Drawbacks: I have yet to figure out how to export data generated by the models. I believe it can be done by downloading the Netlogo tool (as opposed to just running the model in a web-browser), but I have not had time to do this yet.
- A nice tutorial from the University of Leicester
- ASCAPE modeling software: JAVA ABM software created by Brookings et al. In addition to implementing a number of well-known ABMs the software allows users to write, compile, and run their own models. Also has the ability to export model-generated data for analysis...which is obviously crucial.
- Modeling software from University of Oxford that implements Sugarscape.

Teach where? When? Why? To Whom?
ReplyDeleteAt Edinburgh, whenever, because the emergence of credit networks in sugarscape is related to my PhD research and the best way to learn something is to teach it, To anybody who is interested in playing with Agent-Based Models.
ReplyDeleteVery intrepid of you--you shall have to keep us all posted.
