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.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Scenario Modeling / Alternative Futures

Work collaboratively with an interdisciplinary team of faculty, postdocs, and grad students to integrate model inputs and create geospatial scenarios via current scenario modeling tools.

Research Position Agent-Based Social Simulation

We are seeking a research assistant for a 6-month contract starting in August 2020. A goal of the project “Towards More Reliable Predictions: Multi-model Ensembles for Simulating the Corona Pandemic” is to analyse and combine the strengths of individual models into more superior ensembles of simulation models. In addition, we will study how the unique features of Agent-Based Social Simulation (ABSS) models can contribute to better understand the effects of different measures (interventions[...]
