    Describe the changes and updates you have made to your research portfolio for 2nd quarter. Also describe your plan for 3rd quarter.

  1. WHAT IS IT?
    This section can give a general understanding of what the model or program is trying to show or explain.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
  2. HOW IT WORKS
    This section could explain what rules the agents use to create the overall behavior of the model
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
  3. HOW TO USE IT
    This section could explain how to use the model or program, including a description of each type of parameter or user interface values you're using.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
  4. THINGS TO NOTICE
    This section could give some ideas of things for the user to notice while running the model or program
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

  5. THINGS TO TRY
    This section could give some ideas of things for the user to try to do (various ranges of parameter values) with the model or program.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
     

  6. EXTENDING THE MODEL OR PROGRAM
    This section could give some ideas of things to add or change in the program to make the model more complicated, detailed, accurate, etc.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
     

  7. PROGRAMMING FEATURES
    This section could point out any especially interesting or unusual features of programming that the model makes use of. It might also point out places where workarounds were needed because of missing features.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
     

  8. RELATED MODELS
    This section could give the names of other models or programs which are of related interest.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
     

  9. CREDITS AND REFERENCES This section could contain a reference to necessary credits or references.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
     
  10. What is your focus for 3rd quarter for your program and project?
