== Modeling and simulation ==
CAS are occasionally modeled by means of [[agent-based model]]s and [[complex network]]-based models.<ref>Muaz A. K. Niazi, Towards A Novel Unified Framework for Developing Formal, Network and Validated Agent-Based Simulation Models of Complex Adaptive Systems [https://dspace.stir.ac.uk/handle/1893/3365 PhD Thesis]</ref> Agent-based models are developed by means of various methods and tools primarily by means of first identifying the different agents inside the model.<ref>John H. Miller & Scott E. Page, Complex Adaptive Systems: An Introduction to Computational Models of Social Life, Princeton University Press [http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8429.html Book page]</ref> Another method of developing models for CAS involves developing complex network models by means of using interaction data of various CAS components.<ref>Melanie Mitchell, Complexity A Guided Tour, Oxford University Press, [http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/LifeSciences/~~/dmlldz11c2EmY2k9OTc4MDE5NTEyNDQxNQ== Book page]</ref>

In 2013 [[SpringerOpen|SpringerOpen/BioMed Central]] launched an online open-access journal on the topic of ''complex adaptive systems modeling'' (CASM). Publication of the journal ceased in 2020.<ref>Springer ''[https://casmodeling.springeropen.com/ Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling Journal]'' (CASM)</ref>
