Agent-based modeling of morphogenetic systems: Advantages and challenges

Fig 2

The three most common physical representations of cells in ABMs.

Lattice models are generally the least complex, given the constraints to movement and interaction, whereas both CPM and lattice-free models possess varying degrees of complexity depending on the features included in the model. Miniature depictions of the respective images will be placed beside each subsection discussing morphogenetic ABMs in later sections to designate the types of models described. 2D, two-dimensional; 3D, three-dimensional; ABM, agent-based model; CPM, Cellular Potts Model.
