This site stresses general programming languages and toolkits suitable for agent-based computational economics (ACE), agent-based modeling (ABM), and complex adaptive systems (CAS) modeling. Computational laboratories and interactive demonstration software focused on more specific types of ACE/ABM/CAS applications are gathered together at a separate site titled ACE/CAS Computational Laboratories and Demonstration Software.

Site and Software Release Disclaimer:
Unfortunately, many links to excellent ACE/ABM/CAS software resources originally posted at this site are now broken and had to be removed. Below are annotated links to still-available software resources that visitors might find useful and/or of historical interest. These software resources are provided as-is, without warranty of any kind, unless otherwise specified by the provider.
