Notes
- 1.
Many of these endeavours have been covered in submissions to the “model-to-model” series of workshops, organised by members of the social simulation community (Hales et al. 2003; Rouchier et al. 2008. The second workshop was held as a parallel session of the ESSA 2004 conference: see http://www.insisoc.org/ESSA04/M2M2.htm).

It is often the case that a substantial description needs to be included in the main text so readers can get an idea of what is being discussed, but maybe a more complete description might be added in an appendix.

Railsback and Grimm (2012) is a textbook which introduces agent-based modelling with examples described using ODD. The OpenABM website (http://openabm.org) is a portal specifically designed to facilitate the dissemination of simulation code and descriptions of these using the ODD protocol. The original reference document for ODD is (Grimm et al. 2006) with the most recent update being (Grimm et al. 2010). Polhill (2010) is an overview of the 2010 update of ODD written specifically with the social simulation community in mind.
