Agentsheets Genetic Evolutionary Simulations (AGES) is a system developed with Agentsheets with VisualAgenTalk (AS-VAT) to promote the study of complex adaptive systems (cas) subject to evolution. AGES can be used to model a wide array of cas, from ecological systems such as a rain forest to economic systems such as the New York Stock Exchange. Being embedded in AS-VAT, AGES enables non-expert end-users of all ages to explore interesting and important concepts of cas through programming.
