About the CoMSES Model Library more info
CoMSES Net maintains cyberinfrastructure to foster FAIR data principles for access to and (re)use of computational models. Model authors can publish their model code in the Computational Model Library with documentation, metadata, and data dependencies and support these FAIR data principles as well as best practices for software citation. Model authors can also request that their model code be peer reviewed to receive a DOI. 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 archive tutorial or contact us if you have any questions or concerns about archiving your model.
CoMSES Net also maintains a curated database of over 7500 publications of agent-based and individual based models with additional metadata on availability of code and bibliometric information on the landscape of ABM/IBM publications that we welcome you to explore.
A Complex Model of Voter Turnout
Bruce Edmonds Laurence Lessard-Phillips Ed Fieldhouse | Published Mon Oct 13 09:35:26 2014 | Last modified Tue Aug 18 15:20:53 2015This is a complex “Data Integration Model”, following a “KIDS” rather than a “KISS” methodology - guided by the available evidence. It looks at the complex mix of social processes that may determine why people vote or not.
Peer reviewed Horse population dynamics
Nika Galic | Published Tue Nov 12 23:23:48 2013 | Last modified Wed Oct 29 17:21:57 2014This model investigates the link between prescribed growth in body size, population dynamics and density dependence through population feedback on available resources.
Peer reviewed Family Herd Demography
Abigail Buffington Andrew Yoak Ian M Hamilton Rebecca Garabed Mark Moritz | Published Mon Aug 15 19:41:24 2016 | Last modified Sat Jan 6 15:27:40 2018The 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.
Thermostat II
María Pereda Jesús M Zamarreño | Published Thu Jun 12 09:32:46 2014 | Last modified Mon Jun 16 09:03:44 2014A thermostat is a device that allows to have the temperature in a room near a desire value.
Peer reviewed AZOI: Another Zone Of Influence model
Cyril Piou | Published Wed Jul 23 09:54:52 2014 | Last modified Thu Dec 11 21:26:34 2014This model reimplement Weiner et al. 2001 Zone Of Influence model to simulate plant growth under competition. The reimplementation in Netlogo and the ODD description in the “info” tab try to be as consistent as possible with the original paper.
Peer reviewed FishCensus
Miguel Pais | Published Tue Dec 6 17:39:57 2016 | Last modified Thu Feb 9 11:45:23 2017The FishCensus model simulates underwater visual census methods, where a diver estimates the abundance of fish. A separate model is used to shape species behaviours and save them to a file that can be shared and used by the counting model.
PSMED - Patagonia Simple Model of Ethnic Differentiation
Joan A Barceló J A Cuesta Florencia Del Castillo Ricardo Del Olmo José M Galán Laura Mameli Francisco J Miguel David Poza José I Santos Xavier Vilà | Published Tue Dec 10 08:41:20 2013Patagonia PSMED is an agent-based model designed to study a simple case of Evolution of Ethnic Differentiation. It replicates how can hunter-gatherer societies evolve and built cultural identities as a consequence of the way they interacted.
This is the final version of the model. To simulate the normative dynamics we used the EmIL (EMergence In the Loop) Framework which was kindly provided by Ulf Lotzmann. http://cfpm.org/EMIL-D5.1.pdf
Land-Livelihood Transitions
Nicholas Magliocca Daniel G Brown Erle C Ellis | Published Mon Sep 9 20:21:13 2013 | Last modified Fri Sep 13 14:25:53 2013Implemented as a virtual laboratory, this model explores transitions in land-use and livelihood decisions that emerge from changing local and global conditions.
We propose here a computational model of school segregation that is aligned with a corresponding Schelling-type model of residential segregation. To adapt the model for application to school segregation, we move beyond previous work by combining two preference arguments in modeling parents’ school choice, preferences for the ethnic composition of a school and preferences for minimizing the travelling distance to the school.
