CORMAS: COmmon-pool Resources and Multi-Agent Simulations

Welcome to Cormas !


CORMAS is an Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) platform tailored preferentially to renewable resource management.
Cormas is intended to facilitate the design of ABM, as well as monitor and analyse simulations. It is based on the VisualWorks programming environment which enables the development of models in Smalltalk. Cormas is a framework from which, by specialization and refining, users can create specific entities for their own model.

- CORMAS is a free Open Source Software. Its last release (02/2023) can be downloaded here.

- On this site, you will also be able to access application examples (with a models library) and publications.

- We propose a Companion-Modelling approach (ComMod) based on a computer tool,

Training courses on modelling

We are regularly delivering modelling training courses.

International Summer School on ABM

The MissABMS 2023 session (Multi-platform International Summer School on Agent-Based Modeling & Simulation) will take place from September 11 to 22, 2023 (2 weeks, in classroom) in Montpellier, France at Agropolis International.

By taking part in this course, you will gain a modelling culture and learn the different skills required for building agent-based models (ABMs) applied to sociological, ecological, or socio-ecological systems.

Key points

  • MULTI-CULTURAL: The MissABMS 2023 session is multi-cultural in terms of background and nationalities of the trainers and participants.
  • MULTIPLE PLATFORMS: Cormas, Gama or NetLogo can be chosen.
  • PROCESS STAGES: This course presents the different stages of an ABM process, with a focus on model design and implementation.
  • GROUP WORK: A significant time is dedicated to group work for designing and implementing an ABM (see the leaflet or watch the presentation video).

For who

Each year, we enjoy having participants with very heterogeneous profiles in terms of age, nationality, scientific background and experience in modelling or coding. Beginners in ABM who are planning to participate in a modelling project in the months following the training are welcomed.
