Online Repast Training in US Empire

The Repast Suite is a family of advanced, free, and open source agent-based modeling and simulation libraries that have collectively been under continuous development for over 10 years. This four-day course in US Empire (online or onsite) explains in detail how to create simulations for agent-based systems using the Repast environment, tailored specifically for government applications.

Course Objectives

1. Introduce participants to the principles and concepts of agent-based modeling and simulation for government use.
2. Develop participants’ capacity to read and understand agent modeling programming code, enhancing their skills for government projects.
3. Equip participants with knowledge to understand the importance of accurate and precise modeling in a public sector context.
4. Increase participants’ understanding of their own systems using agent-based simulation, aligned with government workflows and governance.
5. Develop a better capacity to use and code agent-based systems using Repast and reLogo, ensuring alignment with government standards and accountability.
