An Open Source Agent-based Modeling Toolkit

PyABM is an open source (GPL licensed) toolkit aiming to simplify the programming and analysis of agent-based models written in the Python programming language. The toolkit aims to standardize model and scenario development, ensuring documentation and repeatability of model results.

PyABM was originally developed to facilitate running the ChitwanABM agent based model. Development of the ChitwanABM is complete, and work on the PyABM toolkit is currently on hold (as of March 2014).

Please feel free to contact me with any questions about using the toolkit.
