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.

Post-doctoral fellow to develop ABM application of environmental influences on migration in Senegal using the MIDAS framework at Boston University

We are seeking a post-doctoral research fellow for a 1-year appointment with the possibility for a further 1-year renewal, to develop an application of the MIDAS (Migration, Intensification, and Diversification as Adaptive Strategies) modeling framework to examine influences of environmental variability on migration flows in West Africa. The successful candidate will work with a team of researchers from BU, NYU, and Columbia University.

3 Postdocs in Computational Social Science

Dear colleagues (apologies for cross-posting), Please feel free to circulate the following job opportunities among your peers. I am looking to hire three postdocs in Computational Social Science at The Alan Turing Institute, the UK's national institute for data science and AI. They will work as part of the Policy Modelling Theme, in an exciting research environment, and with a unique opportunity to have impact in real-world policymaking. These positions are for two years and take place [...]

ABM Postdoc Position in Namur, Belgium (12 months – full time)

The Department of Geography of the University of Namur (located approx. 1 hour from Brussels) is hiring a postdoctoral researcher to work in the framework of the MAPPY project funded by AXIS/JPI-Climate (http://www.jpiclimate.eu/AXIS/Activities/MAPPY). This project studies the interactions between pollinators, plant diversity and crop yields, under climate and land use change. The hired researcher will continue the development of an agent-based model (ABM) to derive high-resolution land use[...]
