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 Scholar Agent Based Modeling of Least Bells Vireo Populations

This postdoc will help design, develop and apply an Agent Based Model simulating the effects of stressors on least bells vireos (an endangered bird species found in southern California). A project overview can be found here (https://serdp-estcp.org/projects/details/89fdcf5b-0c44-41f9-af97-fd1d45908863/rc22-3216-project-overview) and this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0DQPcSk-Qg) provides a 1/2 hour project summary. Questions can be directed to Dr. Pat Zollner using [email protected]

Post-doctoral position in Simulation Modeling of Socio-Economic Dynamics (with emphasis on aporophobia)

To develop simulation models to assess the impact of aporophobia (rejection of the poor) on countries' welfare states and social variables such as poverty and inequality. The selected candidate should provide technical support to the project on modelling and simulation based on agents, design experiments, analyse simulation results and contribute to research articles.

PhD position at UFZ Leipzig on "Model-based exploration of leverage points to foster sustainable nitrogen management in German agriculture”

In the POLISES group (www.polises.de) at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research UFZ Leipzig, Germany a three years PhD Position on "Model-based exploration of leverage points to foster sustainable nitrogen management in German agriculture” is offered from December 1, 2022 on with a methodological focus on social-ecological modelling and agent-based modelling. The aim of the PhD project is to investigate the effects of policy measures for sustainable nitrogen management of farmers[...]
