This software is a modeling environment that can be programmed to simulate the behavior of natural and social phenomena.
NetLogo is a reliable and efficient cross-platform multi-agent programmable modeling environment that is perfect for simulating natural and social phenomena. It is an ideal tool for modeling complex systems that develop over time. NetLogo allows modelers to control hundreds or thousands of "agents" who operate independently, making it possible to explore the connection between micro-level individual behavior and macro-level patterns that emerge from the interaction of many individuals.
One of the best things about NetLogo is that it comes with an authoring environment that enables students, teachers, and curriculum developers to create their own models. With this feature, students and teachers can easily run simulations or even build their own, making it accessible to individuals regardless of their prior experience with programming.
The Models Library in NetLogo is an extensive collection of pre-written simulations that can be used and modified. These simulations address many content areas in the natural and social sciences, including biology and medicine, physics and chemistry, mathematics and computer science, and economics and social psychology.
Moreover, NetLogo has comprehensive documentation and tutorials, making it easy for users to learn and master the modeling environment. Additionally, NetLogo has the power to serve as a powerful tool for researchers in many fields.
NetLogo also comes with a classroom participatory-simulation tool called HubNet, which is ideal for teaching purposes. Through the use of networked computers or handheld devices such as Texas Instruments graphing calculators, each student can control an agent in a simulation. This feature makes it possible for students to participate actively in the learning process, making it more engaging and dynamic.
Finally, NetLogo is written in Java and can run on all major platforms (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, etc). It runs as a standalone application, and models can be run as Java applets inside a web browser. It is the next generation of the series of multi-agent modeling languages that started with StarLogo, building off the functionality of its predecessor and adding significant new features and a redesigned language and user interface.
