In Ascape, models consist of a variablesized population of individual agents (objects) who coexist on a landscape of variable size and shape. In the case of this model, the landscape chosen was a two-dimensional grid resembling an overhead map. The use of an object-oriented class to implement Ascape agents allows for a large degree of heterogeneity among agents. Each agent object contains and updates a range of information (such as the agent’s infection status, her location on the grid, and so forth).
