1 Instructor: Dr. Wayne Wakeland Office: Harder House 101 Office Hrs.: Tuesdays 4:00-6:00 SySc 525/625 Agent-based Simulation Syllabus 2016 Course Description This course focuses on both the conceptual and the technical aspects of agent-based simulation. Students will learn how to use NetLogo to create agent-based models and use agent-based simulations in research and education. Reading assignments focus on the history and theories behind agent-based simulation and the decentralized paradigm in general. What is an agent? An agent is an entity, such as an organism, person or a social organization whose activities (including movements, as well as interactions with the physical and social environment) are programmed as a set of behavioral rules. Agent-based models differ from most computer models in that the computation is decentralized, not centralized. Each individual agent can have variables associated with it, instead of having variables representing the aggregate properties of the system. These variables can change as the agents move and interact with their environment. Agents can be identical or they can be of different 'breeds.' One can specify behaviors and decision-making rules for a each breed of agent and control each breed separately. The aggregate behavior "emerges" from the interaction of the agents and the environment. What is NetLogo? NetLogo is a user friendly agent-based programming language that is wellsuited for 2-D simulations. In certain respects it is more limited than packages like Mason, Repast, and SWARM that require a higher level of programming sophistication and are less well-documented. NetLogo has a well-designed user interface which lets the user view the behavior of the agents and create graphs of the changing values of variables. NetLogo also users to easily write the rules/procedures for the agents without requiring prior programming experience. This makes NetLogo easy to learn and easy to debug. Learning NetLogo Students will learn how to make agents move, interact, and engage in other behaviors by modify existing programs and creating original simulations in NetLogo. The image above is from a model of slime mold aggregation. To view that simulation and other examples, go to the NetLogo website. One can also download a free copy of the NetLogo software and obtain a straightforward tutorial from this website. NetLogo has a user interface with a built in grid for viewing the behavior of the agents. Other elements can be added to this user interface in order to make the program easier to use. Students will learn how to create a user-interface for a simulation so that it can be run by somebody with no programming experience. NetLogo has tools that make creating your own user interface (with sliders for setting variables, monitors for keeping track of changing variables and buttons for running different commands) very easy. Students will also learn how to create graphs for viewing the changing values of variables and export data for visualization and statistical analysis.
2 Applications of Agent-based Simulations A large variety of systems can be modeled using NetLogo. There are many examples of physical and biological simulations in NetLogo on the Netlogo website. NetLogo is also especially useful for modeling social systems. Psychologists, sociologists and political scientists can use NetLogo to make models of individuals who change their behavior based on their interactions with other agents. For example, one could construct a model in which agents communication with other agents about who to support in an election, where to look for 'food' or who to cooperate with. One can make models involving agents working together in an organization, making decisions in varying environments, or buying and selling in a market. It is also possible to create complex game theoretic models in NetLogo. Course Format In addition to attending weekly labs, students will access course information online through D2L, including syllabus information and multiple discussion boards. Students will be expected to post answers to weekly discussion questions on the discussion boards and these discussion boards will also provide a forum for students to post their questions and concerns. Students will also be able to submit assignments and take the final exam through D2L. All readings and assignments should be completed before class on the day listed at the beginning of each row. A description of the books required for the class can be found below the table. Be sure to review the grading and assignment information at the end of this document.
