Advanced Simulation for the Social Sciences

SimSeg - Agent-based modeling at its best

SimSeg is an agent-based computer simulation program that models factors shaping residential patterns in urban areas. SimSeg models the role of demography and other factors such as the city's ethnic mix and the distribution of high status housing. It also models the role of social processes such as household location decisions and housing discrimination.

SimSeg is designed to be used as a tool for understanding residential segregation in American cities. SimSeg enables users to build cities to run simulations and to fine tune factors such as housing discrimination and household residential preferences.

SimSeg's sophisticated model of human behavior bridges the gap between individual decision-making and city-wide residential patterns.
