Often these experiments require vast numbers of simulation runs and are computationally expensive. NetLogo is the language of choice for most agent-based modelers but lacks direct API access through Python. NL4Py is a Python package for the parallel execution of NetLogo simulations via Python, designed for speed, scalability, and simplicity of use. NL4Py provides access to the large number of open-source machine learning and analytics libraries of Python and enables convenient and efficient parallelization of NetLogo simulations with minimal coding expertise by domain scientists.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.03292v5","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.03292v5.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"nl4py-agent-based-modeling-in-python-with","repo_url":"https://github.com/chathika/NL4Py","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
