Abstract
Modelling and teaching complex biological systems is a difficult process. Multi-Agent Based Simulations (MABS) have proved to be an appropriate approach both in research and education when dealing with such systems including emergent, self-organizing phenomena. This chapter presents NetBioDyn, an original software aimed at biologists (students, teachers, researchers) to easily build and simulate complex biological mechanisms observed in multicellular and molecular systems. Thanks to its specific graphical user interface guided by the multi-agent paradigm, this software does not need any prerequisite in computer programming. It thus allows users to create in a simple way bottom-up models where unexpected behaviours can emerge from many interacting entities. This multi-platform software has been used in middle schools, high schools and universities since 2010. A qualitative survey is also presented, showing its ability to adapt to a wide and heterogeneous audience. The Java executable and the source code are available online at http://virtulab.univ-brest.fr.
