An Introduction to Agent-Based Modeling: Modeling Natural, Social, and Engineered Complex Systems with NetLogo is a 2015 instructional text by Uri Wilensky and William Rand. It introduces agent-based modeling as a method for studying complex systems through computer experiments rather than relying only on equations or aggregate descriptions. The book uses NetLogo, the multi-agent programming environment created by Wilensky, to make models concrete and executable from the outset. Its central concern is emergence: how patterns at a large scale can arise from the interactions, decisions, and constraints of many relatively simple individual entities. Examples span natural, social, and engineered systems, reflecting the wide reach of the method. The text progresses from the rationale and definition of agent-based modeling to model construction, exploration, analysis, validation, replication, and advanced applications. With guided development, exercises, and associated code, it serves both as a conceptual introduction to complex systems and as a practical foundation for building, testing, and communicating computational models responsibly.
