Modeling Organizations with Netlogo

Is it possible to replicate complex systems in a virtual environment? How can we replicate the flocking of birds, the behavior of groups of people, the dynamics of complex organizations like distributed software development or financial markets? Agent Based Modeling provides a way to replicate these complex dynamics in a simulated environment. The methodology is based on the assumption that ...
