312909 Tutorial Agent-based Modelling and Simulation (ABM) (Ü) (WiSe 2015/2016)

In this course students can obtain the practical skills of designing, implementing and analyzing agent-based simulation models.

The objective is to give students a basic familiarity with programming in C and using FLAME (Flexible Large-scale Agent Modelling Environment). This will allow students to design, implement and analyse agent-based models using the FLAME modelling environment.
