Behaviour Composer is an open-source web app for creating and running NetLogo agent-based models. Behaviour Composer was developed at the University of Oxford in England by the Modelling4All Project[1] to enable students and researchers to build agent-based models directly in a web browser. Behaviour Composer is a Java program.[2] It was built using the Google Web Toolkit and runs on the Google App Engine. Models can be constructed in any web browser that supports Java applets, downloaded to NetLogo, or using the BC2NetLogo tool.[3]
Models are composed by combining components known as micro-behaviours (modular code fragments), which can be hosted as pages on a web server. Models are stored on the server and can be accessed and shared via URLs.[citation needed]
Behaviour Composer has been used in teaching agent-based modelling in general as well as zoology[4][5] and business school[6] courses. A customisation of Behaviour Composer called Epidemic Game Maker [7] was exhibited at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition. During the ten-day exhibition over one thousand[weasel words] models (games) of an epidemic were created by visitors. An Open Educational Resources model of the Spanish Flu Pandemic was built in Behaviour Composer.[8]
Researchers[who?] have built models in archeology, anthropology, political science, economics, epidemics, oncology, fishing, and farming.[9]
The project has led to the publication of at least 6 papers. [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
