There is a tremendous amount of agent-based modeling in social science---for example the classic work on evolution of cooperation by Axelrod et al., from the early 1980s. Social science applications are a focus of the Repast program. Here we have posted a few sites that have come to our attention.

Evacuation modeling at EvacMod.net
- From the site: "This is the Evacuation Modelling portal for the simulation of human behavior during emergency situations. The site is made by the evacuation modelling community for the evacuation modelling community.
- Almost all content on the site is user generated (by users logging on and entering the information). It is Evacmod.net's aim to to provide a platform for students, fire safety engineers, software engineers, behavioural scientists, researchers or any interested parties to communicate, and share their knowledge and experience. By providing such a platform it is hoped that the field of evacuation modelling will be further advanced. It is hoped a variety of perspectives are expressed in an environment that is free from political or commercial bias."
Enterprise Simulation in Swarm
- Pietro Terna's work at the University of Torino. "jES, the synthetic name of the Java Enterprise Simulator project, is a frame used to develop enterprise simulation models based on the Java version of Swarm both (i) to simulate the activities ‑ and the consistent emerging results ‑ of an actual enterprise and (ii) to build virtual or hypothetical enterprises."
