Distributed Agent-Based Simulation with Repast4Py

This tutorial presents Repast4Py, a Python-based agent-based modeling (ABM) toolkit, and the newest member of the Repast Suite of agent-based modeling toolkits. The tutorial presents key Repast4Py components and how they are combined to create distributed simulations of different types, building on three example models that implement seven common distributed ABM use cases.

Justice-Community Circulation Model (017)

The University of Chicago is developing an agent-based network model (ABNM) framework to study location-specific evolution and dynamics of opioid use disorder (OUD) in justice settings. The Justice Community Circulation Model framework is designed to help researchers and practitioners explore underlying mechanisms, epidemiological processes and interactions, such as the health and mortality pathways of individuals who experience non-fatal overdose or who initiate treatment, among justice-involved individuals with OUD.
