SESSION: COMPUTATIONAL THINKING: Agent-based Modeling Part I

EVENT TYPE: Education

TIME: 2:00PM - 3:00PM

SESSION CHAIR: Robert M. Panoff

Presenter(s):Bob Panoff, Jennifer Houchins, Steven I. Gordon

ROOM:WSCC 2A

ABSTRACT:
Agent-based modeling is used to model situations in which individual objects follow certain rules. After putting those rules into action, we can generalize the behavior of the situation. Using AgentSheets, we will review several models including the spread of a forest fire and a communicable disease to demonstrate the technique and the impacts of individual agents on model outcomes. Prerequisite: "Introduction to Modeling and Simulation as Teaching Tools" session or equivalent.
