We will be using the NetLogo software package\, which is in extensive use in agent-based modeling of a very wide variety of domains\, not solely biomedical. NetLogo supports an intuitive graphical interface that allows the user to change parameters that have been specified by a developer\, as well as a programming language (based on Logo\, and early entry into the game programming market). Although NetLogo will be used for purposes of creating the models\, we will also introduce the theory of agent-based and complex systems as well as a process for modeling agent-based models that has a seamless development pipeline from initial specification of a problem domain through the implementation of a model.[/panel-content][/panel][panel style='panel-primary'][panel-header]Course Program:[/panel-header][panel-content]Dal 08/07/2019 al 10/07/201909:30 - 17:00Day 1: General Introduction to agent-based modeling and NetLogo  Morning        Course overview and introduction  Agent-based modeling (Ch. 1)  The NetLogo platform (Ch 2.)
