About the CoMSES Model Library more info
Our mission is to help computational modelers at all levels engage in the establishment and adoption of community standards and good practices for developing and sharing computational models. Model authors can freely publish their model source code in the Computational Model Library alongside narrative documentation, open science metadata, and other emerging open science norms that facilitate software citation, reproducibility, interoperability, and reuse. Model authors can also request peer review of their computational models 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 publishing tutorial and contact us if you have any questions or concerns about publishing your model(s) in the Computational Model Library.
We also maintain a curated database of over 7500 publications of agent-based and individual based models with additional detailed metadata on availability of code and bibliometric information on the landscape of ABM/IBM publications that we welcome you to explore.

TERRoir level Organic matter Interactions and Recycling model
Myriam Grillot | Published Wednesday, April 19, 2017 | Last modified Wednesday, June 17, 2020The TERROIR agent-based model was built for the multi-level analysis of biomass and nutrient flows within agro-sylvo-pastoral villages in West Africa. It explicitly takes into account both human organization and spatial extension of such flows.
The Geography of Conflict Diamonds: The Case of Sierra Leone
Andrew Crooks Bianica Pires | Published Thursday, March 24, 2016 | Last modified Thursday, March 24, 2016Using Sierra Leone as a test case, the purpose of the model is to explore the role of geography in a resource-driven war. An ABM is integrated with geographic information systems (GIS) for this purpose.
AMBAWA, an Agent-based Model of Biomass flows in Agropastoral areas of West Africa
Christophe Le Page Tidiane Diarisso Nadine Andrieu Marc Corbeels François Bousquet Pablo Tittonell David Berre | Published Monday, November 23, 2015 | Last modified Sunday, April 12, 2020AMBAWA simulates the flows of biomass between crop and livestock systems at the field, farm, and village scales in order to showcase innovating management practices of soil fertility in West Africa.
