I am using R to construct an agent based model with a monte carlo process. This means I got many functions that use a random engine of some kind. In order to get reproducible results, I must fix th...

I am building an agent-based model with R but I have memory issues by trying to use large objects. In particular, 8 3D arrays are created at initialization and at each time step each 3D array is fi...

NetLogo is excellent for agent-based modeling...except for the language. I always find myself contorting my brain trying to figure out how to do something that should be simple to code (such as imp...

Is NetLogo a good platform for big models (>10,000s of patches, turtles)? How can I speed up a model that runs very slowly?

Is it possible to simulate multi-agent systems in Modelica? I'm talking about a system such MASON written in Java. How easy or difficult it would be? As I understand, Modelica is not a typical prog...

I would like to know what kind of toolkits, languages, libraries exist for agent-based modeling and what are the pros/cons of them? Some examples of what I am thinking of are Swarm, Repast, ...

I am thinking to implement a learning strategy for different types of agents in my model. To be honest, I still do not know what kind of questions should I ask first or where to start. I have two...

I'm replicating a small piece of Sugarscape agent simulation model in Python 3. I found the performance of my code is ~3 times slower than that of NetLogo. Is it likely the problem with my code, or...

I am looking for a editor for Evaluation nets (E-net, extension of Petri nets). Something like: PIPE2, or WoPeD, or Yasper (but it not open source and works on Windows only). I only found that...

What are some good data structures for keeping track of agents in a two-dimensional, spatial simulation? I've seen some references to quadtrees (which I understand) and kd-trees (which I don...

I'm learning Scala with the aim of writing agent based simulations using actor concurrency. I currently know very little about OpenCL, and before I dive in can anyone tell me if it is likely to be ...

I've encountered the term "multi-agent computing" as of late, and I don't quite get what it is. I've read a book about it, but that didn't answer the fundamental question of what an agent was. Doe...
