=====Toolkits for Agent-Based Modelling and Spatially Splicit Models=====
//Probably the earliest and most prominent toolkit was SWARM, although many other toolkits
now exist. [...] there are more than one hundred toolkits available for ABM.
However, variation between toolkits can be considerable. For
example, their purpose (some toolkits have different design objectives e.g. AI rather than
social science focus, or network opposed to raster or vector model environments), level of
development (e.g. some models are no longer supported or have ceased development), and
modelling capabilities (e.g. the number of agents that can be modelled, degree of interaction
between agents) can vary.// ([[http://wiki.dpi.inpe.br/doku.php?id=geopro:pedro:platforms#principles_and_concepts_of_agent-based_modelling_for_developing_geospatial_simulations|Castle and Crook 2006]])
