Featured Models

Evolution of Cooperation in Asymmetric Commons Dilemmas

This model can be used to explore under which conditions agents behave as observed in field experiments on irrigation games.

Hohokam Trade Networks Model

The Hohokam Trade Networks Model focuses on key features of the Hohokam economy to explore how differences in trade network topologies may show up in the archaeological record. The model is set in the Phoenix Basin of central Arizona, AD 200-1450.

Lithic Raw Material Procurement and Provisioning

This model simulates the lithic raw material use and provisioning behavior of a group that inhabits a permanent base camp, and uses stone tools.

Ideal Free Distribution of Mobile Pastoralists in the Logone Floodplain, Cameroon

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

Strategy with Externalities

The SWE models firms search behaviour as the performance landscape shifts. The shift represents society's pricing of negative externalities, and the performance landscape is an NK structure. The model is written in NetLogo.

ABM_Herd_Model_09AUG2016_interface.png

Family Herd Demography

The model examines the dynamics of herd growth in African pastoral systems. We used it to examine the role of scale (herd size) stochasticity (in mortality, fertility, and offtake) on herd growth.

Our Community

CoMSES Net is dedicated to fostering open and reproducible scientific computation through cyberinfrastructure and community development. We develop and curate resources for model-based science with FAQs and forums for discussions, job postings, and events. We also develop and maintain the CoMSES Computational Model Library, a digital repository for code that supports discovery and good practices for software citation, reproducibility and reuse.
