The Modelling4All Project is building a web-based tool for constructing, running, visualising, analysing, and sharing agent-based models. They can be constructed by non-experts by composing pre-built modular components called micro-behaviours.
The Modelling4All Project is building a web-based tool for constructing, running, visualising, analysing, and sharing agent-based models. These models can be constructed by non-experts by composing pre-built modular components called micro-behaviours. We are attempting to seed and nurture a Web 2.0 community to support modelling. Models, micro-behaviours, lesson plans, tutorials, and other supporting material can be shared, discussed, reviewed, rated, and tagged.
