Modeling Nature's Emergent Patterns with Multi-Agent Languages
U. Wilensky 2001 Modeling Nature's Emergent Patterns with Multi-Agent Languages. Proceedings of EuroLogo. Linz, Austria.

This paper asserts that the inclusion of complex systems perspectives in school curricula would help students see connections between various knowledge domains. More specifically, learners using NetLogo, a multi-agent modeling language, are able to explore and construct models of emergent phenomena so that they can make connections between the micro and macro-levels of natural and social phenomena.
