Agent-Based Model Exploration [PDF]
, 2015 The previous chapters have allowed us to introduce the basics of agent-based model creation with NetLogo. This has resulted in a model such as the one used in our running example. Once the model has been built, the aim is to manipulate it in such a way that new knowledge about the modeled phenomenon can be created.

Accelerated vaccine rollout is imperative to mitigate highly transmissible COVID-19 variants
EClinicalMedicine, 2021 Background: More contagious variants of SARS-CoV-2 have emerged around the world, sparking concerns about impending surge in cases and severe outcomes. Despite the development of effective vaccines, rollout has been slow.

Towards a Descriptive Model of Agent Strategy Search [PDF]
, 1999 It is argued that due to the complexity of most economic phenomena, the chances of deriving correct models from a priori principles are small. Instead are more descriptive approach to modelling should be pursued. Agent-based modelling is characterised as

The impact of mask-wearing and shelter-in-place on COVID-19 outbreaks in the United States
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020 Objectives: A hasty reopening has led to a resurgence of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States (US). We aimed to quantify the impact of several public health measures including non-medical mask-wearing, shelter-in-place, and ...

Agent-Based Pedestrian Modeling [PDF]
Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2001 When the focus of interest in geographical systems is at the very fine scale, at the level of streets and buildings for example, movement becomes central to simulations of how spatial activities are used and develop. Recent advances in computing power and the acquisition of fine scale digital data now mean that we are able to attempt to understand ...
