Five software platforms for scientific agent-based models (ABMs) were reviewed by
implementing example models in each. NetLogo is the highest-level platform, providing a …

Individual-based models are an exciting and widely used new tool for ecology. These
computational models allow scientists to explore the mechanisms through which population …

The use of object-orientation for both spatial data and spatial process models facilitates their
integration, which can allow exploration and explanation of spatial-temporal phenomena. In …

Achieving a better understanding of the crime event in its spatio-temporal context is an
important research area in criminology with major implications for improving policy and …

There is growing interest in models of marine ecosystems that deal with the effects of climate
change through the higher trophic levels. Such end-to-end models combine …

For many animals, selecting whether to forage during day or night is a critical fitness
problem: at night, predation risks are lower but feeding is less efficient. Habitat selection is a …

Routine activity theory identifies the routine activities of individuals as important to
understanding the convergence of elements necessary for a crime to occur. Two recent …

This report documents Version 4.2 of InSTREAM, including its formulation, software, and
application to research and management problems. InSTREAM is a simulation model …

Many social phenomena have a spatio‐temporal dimension and involve dynamic decisions
made by individuals. In the past, researchers have often turned to geographic information …

abstract With the current surge of simulation studies in archaeology, there is a growing
concern for the lack of engagement and feedback between modelers and domain …
