Repast (modeling toolkit)

The Recursive Porous Agent Simulation Toolkit (Repast) is a widely used free and open-source, cross-platform, agent-based modeling and simulation toolkit. Repast has multiple implementations in several languages (North, Collier & Vos 2006) and built-in adaptive features, such as genetic algorithms and regression.

Repast was originally developed by David Sallach, Nick Collier, Tom Howe, Michael North and others at the University of Chicago.

Features
  • variety of agents and examples
  • fully object oriented
  • fully concurrent discrete event scheduler
  • built-in simulation results logging and graphing tools (North et al. 2007)
  • allows users to dynamically access and modify agents and model at run time
  • libraries for genetic algorithms, neural networks, etc.
  • built-in systems dynamics modeling
  • social network modeling tools
  • integrated geographical information systems (GIS) support
  • implemented in Java, C#, etc.
  • supports Java, C#, Managed C++, Visual Basic.Net, Managed Lisp, Managed Prolog, and Python scripting, etc.
  • is available on virtually all modern computing platforms
gollark: I actually abuse mosh for this.
gollark: It merely thingies to icecast instead of using the internal httpd.
gollark: mpd as a backend still, however.
gollark: ... Amarok?
gollark: RadioBot™?
