Abstract
The ASCAPE agent-based modeling environment greatly eases the task of designing and investigating agent-based models. However, effective design can still require a relatively deep knowledge of programming and agent-based modeling. This issue has almost certainly slowed the adoption of agent-based modeling approaches to social science problems. We will discuss how the ASCAPE software technology can mitigate this requirement and significantly benefit modelers regardless of programming ability.
