Greetings! I'm very new to agent-based modeling, joining this mailing list because the description of ABM that I read from the handbook chapters suggests that it could be very useful to the topic I am studying. But I was still wondering about a few things and I hope someone here on the list might help me. 1. Is it possible to specify several different types of agents in the simulation? By types I mean (1) different values on a particular parameter; or (2) different goals or constraints. Will such models be possible using available software such as NetLogo, or will I have to write my own program in a lower-level language? 2. If I'd write such a program, can you recommend a book, a paper or maybe a short course that can teach me the actual coding process? Thank you very much for all your suggestions! Mingfeng
