Product Description
Agent-based modeling is a new technique for understanding how the dynamics of biological, social, and other complex systems arise from the characteristics and behaviors of the agents making up these systems. This innovative textbook gives students and scientists the skills to design, implement, and analyze agent-based models. It starts with the fundamentals of modeling and provides an introduction to NetLogo, an easy-to-use, free, and powerful software platform. Nine chapters then each introduce an important modeling concept and show how to implement it using NetLogo. The book goes on to present strategies for finding the right level of model complexity and developing theory for agent behavior, and for analyzing and learning from models.
Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling features concise and accessible text, numerous examples, and exercises using small but scientific models. The emphasis throughout is on analysis--such as software testing, theory development, robustness analysis, and understanding full models--and on design issues like optimizing model structure and finding good parameter values.
The first hands-on introduction to agent-based modeling, from conceptual design to computer implementation to parameterization and analysis
Filled with examples and exercises, with updates and supplementary materials at www.railsback-grimm-abm-book.com
Designed for students and researchers across the biological and social sciences
Written by leading practitioners
From the Inside Flap
"Railsback and Grimm provide a needed book on how to develop, code, and analyze agent-based models. They so expertly explain the art and science of modeling that even the most modeling-shy beginner will master the skills. Readers will also gain a deep understanding of the increasing importance of agent-based models for interpreting the patterns of nature and human society."--Donald L. DeAngelis, U.S. Geological Survey
"Railsback and Grimm have written a superb introduction to agent-based models. They combine hands-on programming exercises, introductions to some of the core concepts in complex systems, and instruction in model design and analysis. The result is an excellent book that's ideal for both undergraduates and academics."--Scott E. Page, author of Diversity and Complexity
"Knitting together ecology, economics, and social systems, this wonderful book will encourage and enlighten novices and experienced modelers alike. It highlights the importance of patterns at every level of the modeling process, the need for clear explication of assumptions, and the benefits of models composed of discrete entities (agents) which interact, evolve, and mimic reality."--Louis Gross, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
"This exceptional book offers a systematic introduction to the scientific use of agent-based modeling, including the implementation, testing, and validation of models. Until now there was no good textbook available to teach students the theory and practice of agent-based modeling. Railsback and Grimm provide such a text, one that will likely become a classic in the field."--Marco A. Janssen, Arizona State University
"This book is an invaluable guide to agent-based modeling. A significant contribution to the field, it will train the next generation of modelers and teach best practices to existing modelers. Railsback and Grimm have in-depth expertise and experience in developing and teaching agent-based modeling, and are well qualified to write such a book."--Richard Stillman, Bournemouth University

嗯,Netlogo,正閤我意。在鋪天蓋地的SWARM和RePast書籍中能看到一本基於NetLogo的ABM書很難得。國內使用NetLogo來講Agent-based modeling的書有倒是有,但都講的不深不透不係統。英文版的還看不到,但是相信林大要翻譯的書應該錯不瞭。熱切期待林大的中文版齣爐哦。 另外,封...
評分昨天下午,我在Volker辦公室對他說:雖然我不該 judge a book by its cover,尤其是本好書,但這封麵也太難看瞭吧! Volker:封麵是我老婆選得! 我:老闆,我錯瞭。。。其實仔細看挺有內涵的。。。 Volker:晚瞭,你最好考慮下份工作瞭。

independent study 的時候被老師推薦看這本書的。不過貌似社會學傢對ABM的看法很保守啊。。。和農經係的同學交流瞭一下他們也說有一些經濟學傢也覺得ABM很旁門左道的樣子。 稍微改瞭一下library 裏麵的那個生育行為的模型,套瞭一下中國的數據。結果simulate的結果是再過200 多年中華民族就要滅亡瞭……orz

評分不要等瞭,快找來邊看邊練吧。有許多想法值得去用這玩意兒實現。
評分側重於ABM模型設計,那個ODD Protocol很有道理
