Agent based modelling : initial assessment for use on soil bioaccessibility

This report describes the testing of Agent Based Modelling implementations in three different software packages: Repast-simphony, NetLogo and Insight-maker. These software have been evaluated against their capability to simulate the exposure of people as agents moving across Arsenic contaminated soils. Two of the three tested software (Repast-simphony and NetLogo) are recommended for assessment on more complex problems. An outline work plan is presented for future work.
