V. Grimm, U. Berger, D. DeAngelis, J. Gareth Polhill, J. Giske, S. Railsback
Mathematics
24 November 2010

The ‘ODD’ (Overview, Design concepts, and Details) protocol was published in 2006 to standardize the published descriptions of individual-based and agent-based models (ABMs). The primary objectives… Expand

Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling: A Practical Introduction

S. Railsback, V. Grimm
Computer Science
30 October 2011

Agent-based modeling is a new technique for understanding how the dynamics of biological, social, and other complex systems arise from the characteristics and behaviors of the agents making up these systems. Expand

Individual-based modeling and ecology

V. Grimm, S. Railsback
Computer Science
2005

Individual-based modeling is a new, exciting discipline that allows ecologists to explore, using computer simulations, how properties of populations and ecosystems might evolve from the characteristics and behaviors of individual organisms. Expand

Ten years of individual-based modelling in ecology: what have we learned and what could we learn in the future?

V. Grimm
Geography, Mathematics
15 February 1999

Each modeller who builds and analyses an individual-based model learns of course a great deal, but what has ecology as a whole learned from the individual-based models published during the last… Expand

Babel, or the ecological stability discussions: an inventory and analysis of terminology and a guide for avoiding confusion

V. Grimm, C. Wissel
Psychology, Biology
Oecologia
1 February 1997

Abstract We present an inventory and analysis of discussions of ecological stability, considering 163 definitions of 70 different stability concepts. Our aim is to derive a strategy that can help to… Expand

We propose a standard format for documenting models and their analyses: transparent and comprehensive ecological modeling (TRACE) documentation. Expand

Ecological buffering mechanisms in savannas: A unifying theory of long-term tree-grass coexistence

F. Jeltsch, G. Weber, V. Grimm
Geography
Plant Ecology
1 October 2000

Despite the large spatial extent and the obvious importance of the savanna biome, not to mention several decades of savanna research, the origin, age, nature, and dynamics of savannas are not well… Expand
