It emphasizes modeling as a tool for "doing science," focusing on solving specific real-world problems rather than just building abstract simulations. Key Methodology: The ODD Protocol

The book focuses on —also known as Individual-Based Models (IBMs) in ecology—which are computer simulations that study how the characteristics and behaviors of individual entities (agents) lead to emergent system-level dynamics. Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling: A Pr...
