Agent-Based Modeling for Archaeology (ASM591)
Fall 2019
Learning Outcomes By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Summarize and evaluate agent-based models created by other people. Document and describe an agent-based model. Apply the coding methods learned in class by designing and writing a NetLogo model aimed to answer your own research project. Identify the output necessary to answer your research question and analyze your model’s results. Knowledge and Skills Outcomes The class is designed to help you learn the following key concepts:
Good understanding of what agent-based models are and what they are not. Understanding of complex adaptive systems. The uses of ODD protocols. During this class, you will practice the following skills:
Read NetLogo code Organize concepts in a manner that facilitates their modelization Write and debug code Use ODD protocols to reproduce models Format and analyze results
