The aim of the course/workshop is to introduce challenges and principles of agent-based simulation of human behaviour and to provide participants with basic skills to author models using the open source toolkit Netlogo (http://ccl.northwestern.edu/
Participants should bring their own PC/MAC. Netlogo should be preinstalled before the workshop. To make a head start participants should go through Tutorials #1-3 athttp://ccl.northwestern.edu/
The course includes
- generic presentations of the background of ABM’s- presentation of case studies where ABM’s have been applied
- hands-on exercises
- presentation/discussion of participants own modelling needs and ideas
For PhD students the course will include preparation of a 4-5 page manuscript relating the topics of the course to their own study project (it should include a brief, but running, Netlogo model). The manuscript should be handed in not later than 2 month after the event. For the full course – including an accepted manuscript - 5 ECTS will be granted.
