Immunology and Biology Resources and Basics

A generic Agent-Based Model (ABM) simulator (very easy to use) (by Christy Warrender and Drew Levin)

(CyCells) http://sourceforge.net/projects/cycells/

Here is a sample definition file and a sample init file. To execute simply download cycells and save the

two files in the same folder and type the following in the command line:

./CyCells -d mys29.def -i mys29.init -t 10000

The -t specifies the number of time steps that it has to run.

The simulation produces a file (test.history) which has the data from the run.
