My review of Railsback and Grimm’s “Agent-based and individual-based modeling” textbook published in Ecology
Posted 22 Mar 2013 / 2I am excited by the recent publication of my review of Agent-based and individual-based modeling: a practical introduction in the January issue of Ecology. The review, entitled “Individual-based modeling for the masses“, lauds this valuable textbook designed to support individual-based modeling courses. I expect the combination of this text and the very valuable NetLogo modeling environment to foster a whole new generation of modeling courses and to make this theoretical approach accessible to far more students and researchers.
This is the second feature-length book review that I have published in the past year; I expect one more to come out soon.

Nice review, any comment on how this book compare to more standard computer-science treatments of ABMs, like: Yoav Shoham and Kevin Leyton-Brown [2009], “Multiagent systems: algorithmic, game-theoretic, and logical foundations”, Cambridge University press.?
