Multiagent System based modeling

Spatial simulation of a bacteria

We have also developed a spatial simulation of the basic flip-flop by considering the interaction between the different components in the interior of a bacterium using NetLogo. This kind of model allows to analyze some parameters not considered in the simulations based on the differential equations governing the concentrations of diverse elements, like the spatial (volumetric) variation of these concentrations. Moreover, we wanted to provide a friendly program that allows the researcher to study the influence of several parameters in the global behavior of the system.

About NETLOGO

NetLogo is a programmable modeling environment for simulating natural and social phenomena. It was authored by Uri Wilensky in 1999 and has been in continuous development ever since at the Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling.

NetLogo is particularly well suited for modeling complex systems developing over time. Modelers can give instructions to hundreds or thousands of "agents" all operating independently. This makes it possible to explore the connection between the micro-level behavior of individuals and the macro-level patterns that emerge from the interaction of many individuals.

Simulating the bistable

To run the simulation you have to download the NetLogo environment from his web page and open after the file biestable-simulation.nlogo (download here)
