Abstract

Netlogo is the most common language used to introduce students to multi-agent models. It was designed by academics as a teaching and research tool. While some experienced academics consider Netlogo much like a bicycle with its training wheels still attached, Netlogo offers the advantage of allowing anyone with a personal computer to run and modify these models. This chapter offers a brief overview of how Netlogo works in order to understand the experiments later in the book.
