CORMAS: COmmon-pool Resources
and Multi-Agent
Simulations
Welcome to Cormas !
CORMAS is an Agent-Based Modelling
(ABM) platform tailored preferentially to renewable
resource management.
Cormas is intended to facilitate the design of
ABM, as well as monitor and analyse simulations. It is
based on the VisualWorks programming environment which
enables the development of models in Smalltalk. Cormas
is a framework from which, by specialization and
refining, users can create specific entities for their
own model.
- CORMAS is a free Open Source Software. Its last release
(02/2023) can
be downloaded here.
The MissABMS 2023 session (Multi-platform
International
Summer
School
on Agent-Based
Modeling
& Simulation)
will take place
from September 11 to 22, 2023 (2 weeks, in
classroom) in Montpellier, France at Agropolis
International.
By taking part in this course, you will gain a modelling
culture and learn the different skills required for building
agent-based models (ABMs) applied to sociological, ecological,
or socio-ecological systems.
Key points
MISS-ABMS is multi-cultural in terms of background and
nationalities of the trainers and participants
MISS-ABMS promotes a collaborative practice of modelling and
simulation
MISS-ABMS presents the different stages of an ABM process,
with a focus on model design and implementation
MISS-ABMS offers a significant time for group work to design
and implement an ABM (see the leaflet
or watch the presentation
video).
For who
Each year we enjoy having participants with very
heterogeneous profiles in terms of age, nationality,
scientific background and experience in modelling or coding.
Beginners in ABM who are planning to participate in a
modelling project in the months following the training are
welcomed.
If you have any concern regarding your participation, feel
free to ask at: miss-abms_organizers[at]agropolis[dot]fr
If you intend to participate, please complete the pre-registration
form by May 31st, 2023. The selection of
participants and the confirmation of the session will be
announced mid-July.

research unit (now called UMR SENS)
from CIRAD, is devoted to the
applied modelling of relationship between societies and their
environment.You will find here what we and our partners are
using ABM for the natural resources management.
