Modeling social networks with NetLogo

• NetLogo is a simple system for modeling social networks.
• It represents a society as a bunch of turtles swimming in a pond.
• At the heart of every NetLogo model is a control loop that perpetually asks each turtle to update itself:

ask each turtle 
   interact with a randomly chosen qualified neighbor
   move or die
repeat

Examples: Drinking, Fighting, Mating, Infecting
