- Introduces complexity-based models, most notably agent-based models, and their possible applications to a range of planning and public policy issues.
- Exposes students to complexity theory and methods, including interactions, adaptation, and evolution; cellular automata, agents, networks, and genetic algorithms; and epistemology—the meaning and applications of models.
- Focuses on modeling and software, including building on sample models; running experiments and analyzing results; and verification, sensitivity, and validation.
