Agent-Based Modeling of the Immune System: NetLogo, a Promising Framework
Several components that interact with each other to evolve a complex, and, in some cases, unexpected behavior, represents one of the main and fascinating features of the mammalian immune system. Agent-based modeling and cellular automata belong to a class of discrete mathematical approaches in which entities (agents) sense local information and undertake actions over time according to predefine...
متن کاملVisualization Tools for Agent-based Modeling in Netlogo
In the field of agent-based modeling (ABM), visualizations play a key role in conveying, identifying and understanding the relevant behaviors of a model. However, few toolkits provide modelers graphic tools and visual cues for the design of efficient and communicative visualizations. In this paper, we review some technologies in the NetLogo ABM toolkit that improves its design of model visualiz...
متن کاملAgent- and Individual-based Modeling with NetLogo: Introduction and new NetLogo Extensions
Agent-based models (ABM) or individual-based models (IBM), as they are called in ecology and biology, are a widely used modeling approach when local interactions on the micro level are essential for the description of patterns on the macro level. This chapter is divided into four sections. In the first section, the history and definitions of ABMs in various research disciplines, namely computer...
متن کاملInvestigating immune system aging: system dynamics and agent-based modeling
System dynamics and agent based simulation models can both be used to model and understand interactions of entities within a population. Our modeling work presented here is concerned with understanding the suitability of the different types of simulation for the immune system aging problems and comparing their results. We are trying to answer questions such as: How fit is the immune system give...
