title: Platforms and methods for agent-based modeling.
abstract: The range of tools designed to help build agent-based models is briefly reviewed. It is suggested that although progress has been made, there is much further design and development work to be done. Modelers have an important part to play, because the creation of tools and models using those tools proceed in a dialectical relationship.
