This model represents technological and ecological behaviors of mobile hunter-gatherers, in a variable environment, as they produce, use, and discard chipped stone artifacts. The results can be analyzed and compared with archaeological sites.

Feedback Loop Example: Forest Resource Transport

James Millington | Published Friday, December 21, 2012 | Last modified Saturday, April 27, 2013

This model illustrates a positive ‘transport’ feedback loop in which lines with different resistance to flows of material result in variation in rates of change in linked entities.

Digital divide and opinion formation

Dongwon Lim | Published Friday, November 02, 2012 | Last modified Monday, May 20, 2013

This model extends the bounded confidence model of Deffuant and Weisbuch. It introduces online contexts in which a person can deliver his or her opinion to several other persons. There are 2 additional parameters accessibility and connectivity.

The purpose of the model is to examine whether and how mobile pastoralists are able to achieve an Ideal Free Distribution (IFD).

Interactions between organizations and social networks in common-pool resource governance

Phesi Project | Published Monday, October 29, 2012 | Last modified Saturday, April 27, 2013

Explores how social networks affect implementation of institutional rules in a common pool resource.

Hegmon's Model of Sharing

Sean Bergin | Published Thursday, May 02, 2013

The purpose of Hegmon’s Sharing model is to develop an understanding of the effect sharing strategies have on household survival.

We seek to improve understanding of roles enzyme play in soil food webs. We created an agent-based simulation of a simple food web that includes enzymatic activity. The model was used in a publication, Moore et al. (in press; Biochemistry).

Ants in the genus Temnothorax use tandem runs (rather than pheromone trails) to recruit to food sources. This model explores the collective consequences of this linear recruitment (as opposed to highly nonlinear pheromone trails).

A Modelling4All/NetLogo model of the Spanish Flu Pandemic

Ken Kahn | Published Monday, August 05, 2013 | Last modified Monday, August 05, 2013

A global model of the 1918-19 Influenza Pandemic. It can be run to match history or explore counterfactual questions about the influence of World War I on the dynamics of the epidemic. Explores two theories of the location of the initial infection.
