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.

Genetic Algorithm and Food Choice
Diego Martín Díaz Córdova | Published Monday, August 10, 2026This models simulate how people choose their food buyings based on a limited budget and a food quality index. In order to make the choice the agents call a genetic algorithm who optimizes the buying. The agents are distributed randomly and there are 5 store options where agents can buy meat, fruits and vegetables, bread, ultraprocessed and medications. Agents need all of them, each of one has a different price and a different quality index. The genetic algorithm perform an optimization procedure in order to clasiffy what food set is the best for each agent. The agents are coloured based on their budget if the’ve got less than 100, then they are pink otherwise they are white.
