The book focuses on —also known as Individual-Based Models (IBMs) in ecology—which are computer simulations that study how the characteristics and behaviors of individual entities (agents) lead to emergent system-level dynamics. Railsback and Volker Grimm

This report summarizes the essential textbook by Steven F. Railsback and Volker Grimm . Widely considered the standard for the field, the book provides a comprehensive, hands-on guide for students and researchers to design, program, and analyze models of complex systems.
