Agent-Based Computational Economics (ACE)
Agent-based computational economics (ACE) is the computational study of economies modelled as evolving systems of autonomous interacting agents. ACE is thus a specialization to economics of the basic complex adaptive systems paradigm. Site created an maintained by Leigh Tesfatsion, including a detailed syllabus, with links to related pages and to an interactive computer demo site where people can download demos and get hands-on experience running their own experiments with no original programming required (see in particular the demo on the Schelling Segregation Model by Chris Cook).
