abses 0.2.0a0

ABSESpy makes it easier to build artificial Social-ecological systems with real GeoSpatial datasets and fully incorporate human behaviour.

An Agent-Based computational framework makes modeling artificial Social-ecological systems easier.

Why ABSESpy?

Agent-based model (ABM) is essential for social-ecological systems (SES) research. ABSESpy is designed for modeling couples humans and nature systems by:

• Allow users to develop modules separately and coupling them together.
• Automatically portray interactions between social actors and natural cells with Networkx
• By applying a human behavior modeling framework, users can define, select, and track agents of the model in more intuitive ways.
• Manage and test complex parameters with a yaml file.
• access information between cells and social actors by their locations
• Auto-update real-world datasets and relate the ticks counter to the real-world time.
