Useful platforms
GAMA project
GIS and Agent-based Modelling Architecture: It is a simulation platform, which aims at providing field experts, modelers, and computer scientists with a complete modeling and simulation development environment for building spatially explicit agent-based simulations.
IODA project
Interaction-Oriented Design of Agent simulation: Instead of focusing on the agent behaviors during a simulation design, this methodology focuses on the interaction among the agents. Interesting demonstrations on the web page.
ATOM platform
ArTificial Open Market: It is a general environment for agent-based simulations of stock markets. It is platform independent and fully flexible. ATOM allows distributed simulations with many computers interacting through a network as well as local and fast simulations. It can also allow experiments mixing human beings and artificial traders.
