Abstract

In this paper, we present a web-based search appliance for Agent Based Modeling (ABM) toolkit selection. This search appliance enables users to query a comprehensive ABM repository to determine toolkits that are appropriate for their project. It searches the repository according to the criteria set forth by the user, and then it displays the results in a series of user friendly and interactive graphical and textual tables. It also serves as a potential client base for further research into ABM toolkits; Once on the site, the users are asked if they would like to participate in a toolkit survey, thereby furthering ABM research and also feeding back to improve the web tool itself.
