This mini-module focuses on simulations with a special emphasis on agent-based models, one particular type of simulations. The module will cover the role of simulations in building theory and should be helpful to participants from all disciplines. Examples will emphasize network simulations. In addition, we will learn how to use Netlogo, a free tool available from Northwestern University, to build simple network simulations.
