Team 7 developed an Agent Based Model in NetLogo 4.1
to study the impacts of the placement and size of resource
dispensaries and processing centers on the successfulness of a
Humanitarian Relief Mission. The model tracks the number
of people in need of resources, time to receive resources,
crime incidents, and population migration. The model
incorporates social attributes, ethnicity, and people’s resource
desires.
