Simulator

The ecosystem submodel is an individual-based model of rhino abundance in KNP. The simulator also includes agent-based submodels of group decision making by the following groups: (1) rhino poachers; (2) KNP's anti-poaching force; (3) the middlemen and trafficking syndicate involved in buying, transporting, and selling rhino horns; and (4) the firm-run, in-country manufacturing network.

The files contained in icoinfiles.zip are as follows.

1. IntIDs file containing all submodel file names:
   icokit.id
2. Poachers submodel files:
   ID input file -- poachers.id, Hypothesis parameter values -- poachers-hyp.par, Initial parameter values -- poachers-ini.par, Consistent (fitted) parameter values -- poachers-cons.par
3. Anti-poaching force submodel files:
   anti-poach.id, anti-poach-hyp.par, anti-poach-ini.par, anti-poach-cons.par
4. Middlemen submodel files:
   middlemen.id, middlemen-hyp.par, middlemen-ini.par
5. Wildlife product traders submodel files:
   traders.id, traders-hyp.par, traders-ini.par
6. Manufacturing network submodel files:
   mntwrk.id, mntwrk-hyp.par, mntwrk-ini.par
7. Rhino-hosting ecosystem submodel files:
   rhinoeco.id, rhinoeco-hyp.par, rhinoeco-ini.par, rhinoeco-cons.par
8. Data files:
   knprhinos.dat, knpobsacts.ahs, rhinodesrd.dat
9. MPEMP constraints file:
   mpempcnstrnts.dat

Running the id input file, icokit.id with either idalone icokit.id (Windows) or sh idalonerun.shl icokit.id (Linux) will produce the files found in icooutfiles.zip.

The Java source code file, Parlearn.java forces no learning. This is simply a trick to force poaching behavior that will show up on the plot generated by the SAS plotting file, onescenario.sas.
