Our mission is to help computational modelers develop, document, and share their computational models in accordance with community standards and good open science and software engineering practices. Model authors can publish their model source code in the Computational Model Library with narrative documentation as well as metadata that supports open science and emerging norms that facilitate software citation, computational reproducibility / frictionless reuse, and interoperability. Model authors can also request private peer review of their computational models. Models that pass peer review receive a DOI once published.
All users of models published in the library must cite model authors when they use and benefit from their code.
Please check out our model publishing tutorial and feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns about publishing your model(s) in the Computational Model Library.

Artificial Anasazi: Baseline Fixes, Dynamic Soil and Plot Crowding
Thomas Tuoti | Published Sunday, October 04, 2026Artificial Anasazi is an agent-based model of farming households in the Long House Valley, Arizona, from 800 to 1350 CE. Each household chooses where to farm and settle based on expected harvest, water sources and stored maize, and simulated household counts are compared with the archaeological record.
This release adapts the NetLogo Models Library version (Stonedahl & Wilensky 2010) of Janssen’s (2009) NetLogo replication of the original Ascape model (Dean et al. 2000; Axtell et al. 2002). It contains four configurations in one NetLogo 7.0.4 file, selected with two switches:
- Both switches off: the baseline, which is the Models Library model with small fixes that make it work as intended (the arable-uplands zone name, the setup base yield, the initial household count, one-tick-lag capacity reporting, and seed control with observation-only instruments).
soil-on?: dynamic soil quality that depletes under cultivation and regrows, following Janssen (2010, eq. 4).
