Agent-based modeling tools have advanced, but significant development is still needed. The creation of these tools and the models built with them are interconnected and require ongoing input from modelers.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Science
  • Complex Systems Modeling

Background:

  • Agent-based models (ABMs) are increasingly utilized across various scientific disciplines.
  • Existing software tools facilitate ABM development, but their design and functionality are continuously evolving.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current landscape of tools for building agent-based models.
  • To identify areas requiring further design and development in ABM tool creation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing agent-based modeling software and platforms.
  • Analysis of the relationship between tool development and model creation processes.

Main Results:

  • Progress in agent-based modeling tool development has been observed.
