Featured Models

Umwelt_Ant_Picture.jpg

Umwelten Ants

Simulates impacts of ants killing colony mates when in conflict with another nest. The murder rate is adjustable, and the environmental change is variable. The colonies employ social learning so knowledge diffusion proceeds if interactions occur.

hominin_ecodynamics1.0.png

Hominin ecodynamics v.1

Biobehavioral interactions between two populations under different movement strategies.

An Agent-Based Model of Status Construction in Task Focused Groups

The model simulates interactions in small, task focused groups that might lead to the emergence of status beliefs among group members.

A model of environmental awareness spread and its effect in resource consumption reduction

The model reproduces the spread of environmental awareness among agents and the impact of awareness level of the agents on the consumption of a resource, like energy. An agent is a household with a set of available advanced smart metering functions.

Ache hunting

Agent-based model of hunting behavior of Ache hunter-gatherers from Paraguay. We evaluate the effect of group size and cooperative hunting

Artificial Anasazi

Replication of the well known Artificial Anasazi model that simulates the population dynamics between 800 and 1350 in the Long House Valley in Arizona.

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.

Permanent Research Engineer Position in Trustworthy Multi-Agent Systems

We are looking for a new **permanent** team mate in trustworthy multi-agent systems.

PhD Position: Deep Reinforcement Learning Agents Revealing Uncertainties in Blockchain Systems

The objective of this thesis is to investigate the uncertain constraints of blockchain systems and to propose a deep reinforcement learning decision-making approach based on utility and rewards for both user and block creator agents. The thesis will also contribute to develop and extend the agent-based simulation platform Multi-Agent eXperimenter (MAX) of LICIA.
