Netlogo Programs (download Netlogo )

Netlogo is a great platform for creating and distributing simulations. Here, I’ve put together some programs to illustrate basic network models. At the moment, I leave the code untouched and use them as a demo.
You could also have students modify the code as part of an exploratory exercise. I haven’t done this yet, but I think it could be really cool—if you do something like that in your class, please let me know what you come up with!

• Epidemiology (both are variations on Wilensky, U. Virus Model)
  SI model
  SIR model

• Erdös-Renyi

• Watts-Strogatz
  Small-Worlds 1

• Modified Preferential Attachment (SEIN Preferential Attachment.nlogo) 
  Associated Homework Problem
        variation on Wilensky, U. Preferential Attachment)
