Computational Model Library

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.

Ger Grouper

Stefani Crabtree | Published Tuesday, January 05, 2021

A “Ger” is a yurt style house used by pastoralists in Mongolia. This model simulates seasonal movements, fission/fusion dynamics, social interaction between households and how these relate to climate impacts.

Neolithic Spread Model Version 1.0

Sean Bergin Salvador Pardo Gordo Joan Bernabeu Auban Michael Barton | Published Thursday, December 11, 2014 | Last modified Monday, December 31, 2018

This model simulates different spread hypotheses proposed for the introduction of agriculture on the Iberian peninsula. We include three dispersal types: neighborhood, leapfrog, and ideal despotic distribution (IDD).

NetLogo-R-Example for the Inititialisation of Agents with Correlated Random Numbers

Danilo Saft | Published Friday, February 14, 2014 | Last modified Monday, April 08, 2019

This is a short NetLogo example demonstrating how to initialize 500 agents with 4 correlated parameters each with random values by doing the necessary calculations in the program “R” and retrieving the results.

Evaluating Government's Policies on Promoting Smart Metering Diffusion in Retail Electricity Markets

Tao Zhang | Published Monday, December 07, 2009 | Last modified Saturday, April 27, 2013

This model is a market game for evaluating the effectiveness of the UK government’s 2008-2010 policy on promoting smart metering in the UK retail electricity market. We break down the policy into four

Peer reviewed Umwelten Ants

Kit Martin | Published Thursday, January 15, 2015 | Last modified Thursday, August 27, 2015

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.

Peer reviewed A Macroeconomic Model of a Closed Economy

Ian Stuart | Published Saturday, May 08, 2021 | Last modified Wednesday, June 23, 2021

This model/program presents a “three industry model” that may be particularly useful for macroeconomic simulations. The main purpose of this program is to demonstrate a mechanism in which the relative share of labor shifts between industries.

Care has been taken so that it is written in a self-documenting way so that it may be useful to anyone that might build from it or use it as an example.

This model is not intended to match a specific economy (and is not calibrated to do so) but its particular minimalist implementation may be useful for future research/development.

The Li-BIM model aims at simulating the behavior of occupants in a building. It is structured around the numerical modeling of the building (IFC format) and a BDI cognitive architecture. The model has been implemented under the GAMA platform.

Competitive Arousal Agent Based Model

Zoé Chollet | Published Friday, May 13, 2022

What is it?

This model demonstrates a very simple bidding market where buyers try to acquire a desired item at the best price in a competitive environment

Peer reviewed Flibs'NLogo - An elementary form of evolutionary cognition

Cosimo Leuci | Published Thursday, January 30, 2020 | Last modified Monday, June 15, 2026

Flibs’NLogo is an agent-based simulation implemented in NetLogo that models the evolution of perfect predictors through a genetic algorithm. The agents, called flibs (finite living blobs), are finite‑state automata whose behaviour is encoded in circular chromosomes. They inhabit a “primordial computer soup” and are tasked with anticipating a user‑defined periodic binary sequence. Each generation consists of 100 evaluation cycles, during which a flib’s fitness is incremented each time its output correctly matches the next environmental signal.
Reproduction follows an elitist scheme: a donor (current fittest individual) replaces a randomly chosen recipient either by cloning (complete genome substitution) or by bacterial‑like conjugation (unidirectional horizontal transfer of a random chromosome segment). A stochastic mutagenesis operator introduces point mutations in genes, while the reproductive strategy gene can also switch under a mixed-reproduction regime. Population dynamics are monitored via genomic diversity indices (Shannon‑Wiener, Simpson), a phenotypic simpleness metric that distinguishes the low number of states actually used from the genomic potential.
The model serves as a digital evolutionary laboratory for exploring the interplay among bounded rationality, collective adaptation, and the emergence of anticipatory behaviour. By linking evolutionary computation with cognitive concepts, Flibs’NLogo investigates fundamental transitions from reactive to predictive systems and allows for testing whether populations evolve toward minimal necessary complexity or exhibit an intrinsic drift toward structural elaboration.

Governing the commons

Marco Janssen | Published Tuesday, January 14, 2020 | Last modified Sunday, July 17, 2022

Model on the use of shared renewable resources including impact of imitation via success-bias and altruistic punishment.
The model is discussed in Introduction to Agent-Based Modeling by Marco Janssen. For more information see https://intro2abm.com/
