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.
An agent-based approach to weighted decision making in the spatially and temporally variable South African Paleoscape
Colin Wren | Published Thu Dec 29 22:46:21 2016This model simulates a foraging system based on Middle Stone Age plant and shellfish foraging in South Africa.
MayaSim: An agent-based model of the ancient Maya social-ecological system
Scott Heckbert | Published Wed Jul 11 19:55:24 2012 | Last modified Tue Jul 2 17:14:49 2013MayaSim is an agent-based, cellular automata and network model of the ancient Maya. Biophysical and anthropogenic processes interact to grow a complex social ecological system.

The role of spatial foresight in models of hominin dispersal
Colin Wren | Published Mon Feb 24 20:36:57 2014 | Last modified Mon Jul 14 13:31:31 2014The natural selection of foresight, an accuracy at assess the environment, under degrees of environmental heterogeneity. The model is designed to connect local scale mobility, from foraging, with the global scale phenomenon of population dispersal.
MERCURY: an ABM of tableware trade in the Roman East
Tom Brughmans Jeroen Poblome | Published Thu Sep 25 14:50:21 2014 | Last modified Fri May 1 16:43:39 2015MERCURY aims to represent and explore two descriptive models of the functioning of the Roman trade system that aim to explain the observed strong differences in the wideness of distributions of Roman tableware.
Peer reviewed A Neutral Model of Stone Raw Material Procurement
Marco Janssen Simen Oestmo | Published Tue Oct 1 00:29:53 2013A simple model of random encounters of materials that produces distributions as found in the archaeological record.
cluster analysis
Lars Spång | Published Tue Nov 7 09:45:16 2017This model demonstrates how to illustrate a cluster pattern by counting turtles within i moving circle with a specified radius. The procedure is common in archaeological spatial analysis.
Musical Chairs
Andreas Angourakis | Published Wed Feb 3 17:24:15 2016 | Last modified Fri Mar 11 19:17:46 2016This Agent-Based model intends to explore the conditions for the emergence and change of land use patterns in Central Asian oases and similar contexts.
