A sample (and definitely not an exhaustive list) of agent-based modeling applications and references are provided below for interested readers:
- Southwest Airlines used an agent-based model to improve how it handled cargo (Seibel and Thomas, 2000).
- Eli Lilly used an agent-based model for drug development (Bonabeau, 2003a).
- Pacific Gas and Electric: Used an agent based model to see how energy flows through the power grid (Bonabeau, 2003a).
- Procter and Gamble used an agent-based model to understand its consumer markets (North et al., 2010) while Hewlett-Packard used an agent-based model to understand how hiring strategies effect corporate culture (Bonabeau, 2003b).
- Macy’s have used agent-based models for store design (Bonabeau, 2003b).
- NASDAQ used and agent based model to explore changes to Stock Market's decimalization (Bonabeau, 2003b; Darley and Outkin, 2007).
- Using a agent-based model to explore capacity and demand in theme parks (Bonabeau, 2000).
- Traffic and pedestrian modeling (Helbing and Balietti, 2011).
- Disease dynamics (e.g. Eubank et al., 2004).
- Agent-based modeling has also been used for wild fire training, incident command and community outreach (Guerin and Carrera, 2010). For example SimTable was used in the 2016 Sand Fire in California.
- InSTREAM: Explores how river salmon populations react to changes (Railsback and Harvey, 2002).

To compare differnet modeling approaches to the same issue, in subfolder SIR_Models folder you will find 4 models:
- Cellular Automata (SIR_CA.nlogo)
- Discreet Event Simulation (SIR_DES.nlogo)
- System Dynamics Model (SIR_SD.nlogo)
- Agent-based Model (SIR_ABM.nlogo)
Each explores the spread of a disease using a a Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) epidemic model. For more details about SIR models see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartmental_models_in_epidemiology
