About the CoMSES Model Library more info
Our mission is to help computational modelers at all levels engage in the establishment and adoption of community standards and good practices for developing and sharing computational models. Model authors can freely publish their model source code in the Computational Model Library alongside narrative documentation, open science metadata, and other emerging open science norms that facilitate software citation, reproducibility, interoperability, and reuse. Model authors can also request peer review of their computational models to receive a DOI.
All users of models published in the library must cite model authors when they use and benefit from their code.
Please check out our model publishing tutorial and contact us if you have any questions or concerns about publishing your model(s) in the Computational Model Library.
We also maintain a curated database of over 7500 publications of agent-based and individual based models with additional detailed metadata on availability of code and bibliometric information on the landscape of ABM/IBM publications that we welcome you to explore.

Thoughtless conformity and spread of norms in an artificial society (Grid Model)
Muhammad Azfar Nisar | Published Tuesday, May 27, 2014This model is a small extension (rectangular layout) of Joshua Epstein’s (2001) model on development of thoughtless conformity in an artificial society of agents.
A model of urban expansion policy scenarios using an agent-based approach—a case of the Guangzhou Metropolitan Region of China
Guangjin Tian | Published Friday, March 21, 2014Three policy scenarios for urban expansion under the influences of the behaviours and decision modes of four agents and their interactions have been applied to predict the future development patterns of the Guangzhou metropolitan region.
Peer reviewed An agent-based model to identify management practices, integrity and performance in Kenya’s and Ghana’s Water Service Delivery
Georg Holtz Claudia Pahl-Wostl Francesc Bellaubi | Published Sunday, March 09, 2014 | Last modified Tuesday, July 15, 2014The ABM looks at how the performance of Water Service Delivery is affected by the relation between management practices and integrity in terms of transparency, accountability and participation
Land-Livelihood Transitions
Nicholas Magliocca Daniel G Brown Erle C Ellis | Published Monday, September 09, 2013 | Last modified Friday, September 13, 2013Implemented as a virtual laboratory, this model explores transitions in land-use and livelihood decisions that emerge from changing local and global conditions.
Network-Based Trust Games
Bin-Tzong Chie | Published Thursday, August 22, 2013 | Last modified Wednesday, April 15, 2020The network-based trust game is a hybridization of both the repeated trust games and the network games.
Evolution of Conditional Cooperation
M Manning Marco Janssen Oyita Udiani | Published Thursday, August 01, 2013 | Last modified Friday, May 13, 2022Cultural group selection model used to evaluate the conditions for agents to evolve who have other-regarding preferences in making decisions in public good games.
Linear recruitment leads to allocation and flexibility in collective foraging by ants
Takao Sasaki Zachary Joseph Shaffer Stephen Pratt | Published Thursday, July 11, 2013 | Last modified Thursday, September 05, 2013Ants in the genus Temnothorax use tandem runs (rather than pheromone trails) to recruit to food sources. This model explores the collective consequences of this linear recruitment (as opposed to highly nonlinear pheromone trails).
Agent-based model of risk behavior in adolescence
N Schuhmacher P Van Geert L Ballato | Published Monday, June 24, 2013 | Last modified Monday, April 08, 2019The computer model simulates the development of a social network (i.e. formation of friendships and cliques), the (dyadic) interactions between pupils and the development of similarities and differences in their behavioral profiles.
The Garbage Can Model of Organizational Choice
Guido Fioretti | Published Saturday, June 22, 2013We reconstruct Cohen, March and Olsen’s Garbage Can model of organizational choice as an agent-based model. We add another means for avoiding making decisions: buck-passing difficult problems to colleagues.
RETURN MIGRATION AFTER BRAIN DRAIN: A SIMULATION APPROACH
Alessandro Pluchino Alessio Emanuele Biondo Andrea Rapisarda | Published Friday, June 21, 2013This model, realized on the NetLogo platform, compares utility levels at home and abroad to simulate agents’ migration and their eventual return. Our model is based on two fundamental individual features, i.e. risk aversion and initial expectation, which characterize the dynamics of different agents according to the evolution of their social contacts.
