Sadie is an agent-based modelling environment for stochastic agents in discrete time in Euclidean space. It is intended to serve as a simple, convenient replacement for more complex agent-based modelling frameworks such as Repast and Mesa where customisation and adaptation to specific use cases is required. In particular, Sadie is designed for simulating random walks in various complex interactions, including Lévy walks, avoidant walks, homesick and other stochastic mobility models in Euclidean space.

Sadie is named after Dickin medal winner Sadie, an explosives detection dog who saved hundreds of lives when detecting a secondary explosive charge after a bombing outside UN Headquarters, Kabul, Afghanistan, in November 2005.
