Useful micro-behaviour built by customising and combining other micro-behaviours:

Constant:   Create a social network where everyone has the same number of bi-directional links.

Power law: Create a social network with bi-directional links between all individuals where the number of acquaintances is distributed according to a power law.

Behaviours useful for viewing the network:

3D version: Set the initial dimensions of the 3D world where the model runs.

Older version of the library

This is the new library of micro-behaviours authored by the Modelling4All team. An older version of the library is still available. 

Special-purpose resources for modelling topics ranging from swarming to epidemics to opinion dynamics.

Collective decision-making in animal groups

A specialised library of swarming micro-behaviours is available to build models found in Couzin, I. D., Krause, J., Franks, N. R. & Levin, S.A.(2005)Effective leadership and decision making in animal groups on the move Nature 433, 513-516.

Here is a simple swarming model using some of these micro-behaviours. Here is three-dimensional version of the model.

Opinion Dynamics Models

A library of opinion dynamics micro-behaviours inspired by the paper "How can extremism prevail? A study based on the relative agreement interaction model" by Guillaume Deffuant, Frédéric Amblard, Gérard Weisbuch and Thierry Faure (2002); Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation vol. 5, no. 4; <http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/5/4/1.html>can be used to explore modelling opinion dynamics.

Here is a relative agreement model

Epidemic and Vaccination Models

The library of epidemic micro-behaviours were designed to explore the SVIR model as presented in "Mathematical models of vaccination", Almut Scherer and Angela McLean, British Medical Bulletin 2002;62 187-199. Here are somesuggestions for exploring vaccination models.

Here is a step-by-step guide to modelling epidemics

Sugarscape -- Growing Artificial Societies

You can compose the elements of the Sugarscape library of micro-behaviours to recreate the models in Growing Artificial Societies by Joshua M. Epstein and Robert Axtell, Brookings Institute Press, The MIT Press, 1996.

Here is a step-by-step guide to building Sugarscape models.

Economic Models of Network Formation

Use this library of network formation micro-behaviours to model economic agents forming a network.

Predator Prey Models

Here is asample predator-prey model created using this step-by-step guide to building an ecosystem. And here is that model extended to model heterogeneity in prey and geography using this guide to extending the predator prey model.

Spanish Flu Pandemic

Here is amodel of the Spanish Flu Pandemic and here is a guide to its use. The model does not run in the web version of NetLogo.
