NetLogo: A simple environment for modeling complexity

NetLogo [?] is a multi-agent programming language and modeling environment for simulating complex phenomena. It is designed for both research and education and is used across a wide range of disciplines and education levels. In this paper we focus on NetLogo as a tool for research and for teaching at the undergraduate level and higher. We outline the principles behind our design and describe recent and planned enhancements. 1.1 Overview NetLogo is a multi-agent programming language and modeling environment for simulating natural and social phenomena. It is particularly well suited for modeling complex systems evolving over time. Modelers can give instructions to hundreds or thousands of independent “agents ”…
