Agent-based and Individual-based Modeling has become the standard texbook on the subject for classroom use and self-instruction. Drawing on the latest version of NetLogo and fully updated with new examples, exercises, and an enhanced text for easier comprehension, this is the essential resource for anyone seeking to understand how the dynamics of biological, social, and other complex systems arise from the characteristics and behaviors of the agents that make up these systems. Steven Railsback and Volker Grimm lead students step-wise through the processes of designing, programming, documenting, and doing scientific research with agent-based models, focusing on the adaptive behaviors that make these models necessary. They cover the fundamentals of modeling and model analysis, introduce key modeling concepts, and demonstrate how to implement them using NetLogo. They also address pattern-oriented modeling, an invaluable strategy for modeling real world problems and developing theory. This accessible and authoritative book focuses on modeling as a tool for understanding real complex systems. It explains how to pose a specific question, use observations from actual systems to design models, write and test software, and more.--Page 4 of cover.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Engineering Societies in the Agents World, ESAW 2009, held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, in November 2009. The 13 revised full papers and 5 short contributions presented together with two invited talks were carefully selected from 31 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on self-organization, software-engineering and architectures, social aspects of agent societies, organization and autonomy. This proceedings concludes with the extended abstracts of 6 contributions to a demonstration session on agent-based technologies and works.
