First Exercises (*)
A set of exercises going from the building of simple models (opinion diffusion) to training exercises about specific modeling aspects (iterators on containers, scheduling...)
- Keywords: grid, displays, plot, containers, iterators, scheduling.
- Subject: PDF
- A correction: gaml files
Exercise (*): Firefly synchronization
From UML diagram, implement a GAMA model simulating the synchronization of fireflies.
Exercise (*): Firefighter model
Implement the model given in the model description file. The guide file helps you to separate the implementation of the structure of the model, its initialization, its dynamics, and ways to visualize it.
- Keywords: grid, inheritance, displays, plot, 3D.
- Model description: PDF
- Guide: PDF
- A correction: gaml file
Exercise (**): Wolves, Goats, Cabbages model
Implement an extended version of the Prey-Predator model. It allows you to manipulate grids and inheritance.
- Keywords: grid, inheritance, displays, plot, prey-predator model.
- Detailed model description: PDF
- Data file: Environment asc file
- A correction: gaml file
Exercise (**): Schelling model
Implement the segregation Schelling model on an environment (either a grid or a shafile).
- Keywords: grid, GIS data, displays, plot, Graphical modeling, Schelling model.
- Subject: PDF
- Data file: Environment files
- A correction: gaml file
Exercise (**): Traffic model
- Keywords: GIS data, graph, skills, moving skill, displays, plot, mobility model.
- Subject: PDF
- Data file: Environment files
- A correction: gaml file
Exercise (***): Shortest path on a grid by distance diffusion
An algorithm-oriented exercise to compute shortest paths on a grid.
