NetLogo is a platform specifically for agent-based modeling: it provides a
conceptual framework, programming language, graphical interface,
automated simulation experiment manager, etc. NetLogo is free; available for Windows,
MacIntosh, and Linux systems; and includes a very complete set of
documentation and tutorials.
NetLogo is developed and supported by the Center for
Connected Learning
at Northwestern University, and can be downloaded from
their site.
The NetLogo programming information and example models in the book,
and on this site, use Version 4.1 of NetLogo. (They were actually
produced using the beta versions of 4.1 released on or before August
18, 2009.)
No major new versions of NetLogo have appeared since 4.1, so all our code should work without modification.
