The latest outputs from researchers, alumni and friends at the UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA).
Ever wondered if agent-based models have been applied to look at elections? I recently came across a nice little NetLogo model by Michael Laver which is part of the book “Party competition: an agent based model” (2012). This simple model allo…

We have just had a paper published in Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation the entitled “Slumulation: An Agent-Based Modeling Approach to Slum Formations”. This paper adds to the small but growing body of agent-based models explo…

The OpenABM website is a great resource for agent-based modelers, I often suggest to my students to visit the site to see the range of possibilities to which agent-based models can be used for.Recently it was announced that the winner of CoMSES Net Mod…

Based on the pseudocode for the Netlogo to 3DMax implementation, I have now decided to post a short tutorial on exporting the Netlogo traffic simulation to 3DMax. This tutorial will mainly cover the output of the turtles and visualising it in 3DMax. Ne…
Continue reading »As mentioned in an earlier post that I will be posting a pseudocode for a Netlogo to 3DMax implementation.This pseudocode is mainly for the Netlogo traffic simulation, but I will try and make it as general as possible in order to use in other models.Ne…
Continue reading »The first few posts will be a catch up of what has been done so far. The first piece I worked on was a Netlogo to 3D Max implementation. This implementation is for a street level scale of a city. Although, 3D Max is used for crowd and particle simulati…
