NetLogo is an open-source programming language and integrated development environment for agent-based modeling, designed by Uri Wilensky, director of Northwestern University's Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling, and first appearing in 1999. It follows a low threshold, no ceiling philosophy, letting users program using agents called turtles, patches, links and the observer to build simulations. NetLogo was built for educators teaching programming to children as well as domain experts without a programming background who need to model phenomena in their own fields, and it is used to explore emergent behavior across disciplines including economics, biology, physics, chemistry, psychology and system dynamics.
