Abstract

In this paper we introduce the concepts and methods of ''individual-oriented'' modelling in ecology, in particular the approach which is sometimes called ''artificial world'' modelling. After contrasting this approach with more conventional modelling approaches we discuss its advantages, describe some tools developed to facilitate this type of modelling and show some examples of ecological research using it.
