Who are we?
The Network for Agent-based modelling of Socio-ecological Systems in Archaeology (NASSA) is a research network with the goal to gather an international, interdisciplinary group of researchers to collect and compile agent-based modelling (ABM) elements (implementation modules, techniques, approaches, etc.) and organise them as an open modelling library.
The targets of this network are:
- identify and compile crucial modelling topics for the library;
- collect and develop best practices and modelling guidelines;
- develop tools for interoperability following the FAIR principles;
- guarantee sustainability of the library;
- create a structure for international collaboration resulting in joint publications within the network.
