  <dc:title>Build and Run Spatially Explicit Agent-Based Models</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package NetLogoR version 1.0.6</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Build and run spatially explicit
    agent-based models using only the R platform. 'NetLogoR' follows the same
    framework as the 'NetLogo' software
    (Wilensky (1999) &lt;https://www.netlogo.org&gt;) and is a translation
    in R of the structure and functions of 'NetLogo'.
    'NetLogoR' provides new R classes to define model agents and functions to
    implement spatially explicit agent-based models in the R environment.
    This package allows benefiting of the fast and easy coding phase from the
    highly developed 'NetLogo' framework, coupled with the versatility, power
    and massive resources of the R software.
    Examples of two models from the NetLogo software repository 
    (Ants &lt;https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/models/Ants&gt;) and 
    Wolf-Sheep-Predation 
    (&lt;https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/models/WolfSheepPredation&gt;),
    and a third, Butterfly, from 
    Railsback and Grimm (2012) &lt;https://www.railsback-grimm-abm-book.com/&gt;, all
    written using 'NetLogoR' are available. 
    The 'NetLogo' code of the original version of these
    models is provided alongside.
    A programming guide inspired from the 'NetLogo' Programming Guide
    (&lt;https://docs.netlogo.org/programming.html&gt;) and a dictionary
    of 'NetLogo' primitives (&lt;https://docs.netlogo.org/dictionary.html&gt;)
    equivalences are also available.
    NOTE: To increment 'time', these functions can use a for loop or can be
    integrated with a discrete event simulator, such as 'SpaDES'
    (&lt;https://cran.r-project.org/package=SpaDES&gt;).</dc:description>
