	enGauge Resources
		StarLogo is a specialized version of a programming language called Logo (also created by MIT Media Lab).
		StarLogo is intended for students ages 13 and up.
		StarLogo has been found to encourage critical thinking and understanding (Resnick 1996, 1995, 1994a, 1994b, 1994c, 1991).

	Construction Safety (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		StarLogo is a programming language that enabled us to describe the actions of what is called a 'turtle' and their interactions with 'patches', which are specific areas in their environment.
		Since StarLogo is an 'agent-based' environment, we were able to create a simulation that showed the complex interactions between a few, small sets of rules, rather than explicitly telling the agents what they should be doing at all times.
		StarLogo enables designers to create complex relationships and behaviors with relatively simple commands, but the drawback is that it is not readily apparent what is happening on screen.

	Beyond the Centralized Mindset
		StarLogo places special emphasis on local interactions--that is, interactions among turtles and patches that are spatially near one another.
		For example, the students working on the StarLogo traffic project were shocked by the behavior of the traffic jams: the jams moved backwards even though all of the cars within the jams were moving forward.
		When I explained a StarLogo ant-foraging program to one student, he was worried that pheromone trails would continue to attract ants even after the food sources at the ends of the trails had been fully depleted.

	Alexis Drogoul - Starlogo
		StarLogo is a powerful, yet simple, language aimed at providing people with the simplest way for designing self-organized collective systems.
		We are currently working on a port from StarLogo to Java in order to (1) make it widely available (it only runs on Macintoshes); (2) clarify the object-oriented aspects of the language; (3) allow people to quickly build applets that can be demonstrated over the Web.
		I have coded a lot of different applications in StarLogo: foraging collective behaviors inspired by those of the species of ants used in the Manta project, many collective sorting algorithms, etc. It is a very simple environment for quickly testing ideas, algorithms, etc.

	StarLogo: Decentralized Modeling and Decentralized Thinking
		StarLogo is programmable modeling environment designed to help nonexpert users (in particular, precollege students) model and explore decentralized systems, such as ant colonies and market economies.
		StarLogo is designed to help nonexpert users (such as precollege students) model the workings of decentralized systems, such as ant colonies and market economies.
		StarLogo is especially designed for modeling decentralized systems -- that is, systems in which patterns are determined not by some central authority but by local interactions among many (parallel) components.

	Getting Started
		StarLogo is a programmable modeling environment for exploring the behaviors of decentralized systems, such as bird flocks, traffic jams, and ant colonies.
		StarLogo is particularly well-suited for modeling complex decentralized systems--systems which traditionally have not been available to people without advanced mathematical or programming skills.
		The main inhabitants of the StarLogo world are graphic creatures known as "turtles." You can use a turtle to represent almost any type of object: an ant in a colony, a car in a traffic jam, an antibody in an immune system, a molecule in a gas.

	An Evaluation of Seven Software Simulation Tools for Use in the Social Sciences
		Starlogo is a specilaized version of logo (which was used for teaching in schools).
		Whilst Starlogo can be considered 'agent-based' (for example, a turtle is an agent) its programming paradigm is procedural (as opposed to object-oriented for example).
		However, whilst it is very easy to graph data in Starlogo there are some annoying problems associated with the graphing facility (for example, whilst many lines may be plotted on the same graph, it is not possible create more than one graph).

	Adventures in Modeling: Exploring Complex, Dynamic Systems with Starlogo Mathematics and Computer Education - Find ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		StarLogo approaches the modeling of systems from the point of view of individuals rather than from a systems level.
		Using StarLogo, the model specifies the behavior of individuals and then studies emergent properties of the system of these interacting individuals over time.
		Included in the first six chapters are numerous suggestions for teachers on the classes and contexts for which StarLogo modeling is appropriate as well as websites for national and state mathematics and science standards, other modeling environments, and research laboratories.

		Starlogo is a programming environment for exploring how decentralised systems work.
		The relevance of using Starlogo in our course is that it enables you to explore self organising systems in a simple and structured way.
		For this, Starlogo itself takes you by the hand and leads you through a very nice tutorial in setting up a Starlogo simulation from beginning to end.

	New Paradigms
		StarLogo is intended to help people model such systems--and, in the process, develop new ways of thinking about such systems.
		The thesis underlying StarLogo is that people, by designing and playing with decentralized systems in StarLogo, will move beyond this centralized mindset, developing new ways of thinking about and understanding systems.
		StarLogo turtles come equipped with "senses." They can detect and distinguish other turtles nearby, and they can "sniff" scents in the world.

	Lots and Lots of Digital Bugs: Starlogo in MAS.123
		As I first began to experiment with the StarLogo sample projects, the first thing that struck me was the length of the code for each project-I could not believe that such complex situations could arise out of such simple a simple-and short-set of rules.
		We need not worry that a user would be overly trusting of a StarLogo simulation because he or she can easily look at the source code and determine exactly what's going on in the simulation.
		Both StarLogo and participatory simulations are valuable for gaining an understanding of complex, distributed systems and for overcoming the mindset of centralized control of any large system.

	Simulation of Ant's Emergent Behavior Using Starlogo
		The idea is that each ant alone is next to useless for gathering food efficiently, but a bunch of ants each acting on its own simple set of rules together are able to gather food much more efficiently.
		Unfortunately, StarLogo is not a good program for reading and writing data which makes it very difficult to write a good genetic algorithm to modify all the sliders.
		I contacted the people who wrote StarLogo to ask if they had written any hidden interface like this, but they said they had not but that they had thought about it.

	SI888: MoRAS Doctoral Seminar - Projects
		In agent-based modeling, rather than trying to design rules for the entire system as a whole, the point is to design a series of small rules for the individual actors to follow.
		StarLogo is based on the Logo language, popular in the early 1980s, and has several extensions to make it easier to program agent-based simulations, as well as reporting and summary routines to allow for generalizations about many different runs.
		StarLogo is recommended, although, if you or your group has significant programming experience, you may want to try the Swarm system, which is a more complex, but much more powerful and faster system.
