Students exploring agent-based modeling software, NetLogo, through its applications to complex systems in daily life"
==Abstract==https://wiki.isss.org/index.php/Mini_Symposium_2026_Mar_11_-_Peter_Erdi
In this project, students will explore agent-based modeling software, NetLogo, through its applications to complex systems in daily life. You will have the opportunity to model complex systems without coding knowledge. Examples of models include population dynamics, social networks (e.g., voting), chemical kinetics, epidemics, economics (e.g., wealth distributions, cash flow), medicine (e.g., kidney health, disease spread, CRISPR), and animal collective behavior.
Six eight-minute-long presentations will be delivered, followed by a Q/A session.
Short Bio
Péter Érdi teaches a class INTRODUCTION TO COMPLEX SYSTEMS (25th time this year) at Kalamazoo College. During the minisymposium, the students will present their group project. While the exact projects are not known, the call will be given.
