Individual-based Models

Individual-Based Model is a computational simulation framework within ecological and population modeling that represents a system as a collection of autonomous agents, each governed by individual-level attributes and behaviors, thereby distinguishing it from aggregate or population-level models by explicitly capturing heterogeneity, local interactions, and emergent dynamics at the individual scale.
