[Swarm-Modelling] Announce: metaABM 1.0.0

[Miles T. Parker]

Hi all...  metaABM is available in its first general release. As I  
mentioned earlier before on this list, metaABM grew out of work in the  
Simphony project and has sort of morphed into a generic meta-modeling  
environment. You can create ABM models using a simple visual editor,  
and the code for Repast Simphony and Ascape models (and eventually  
others) is automatically generated. metaABM also provides an easy to  
use Eclipse based environment for developing and executing models.

I'd be especially interested in feedback from folks with interests in  
modeling and template issues. It would be very interesting to do an  
Swarm / Objective C target as a demonstration of applicability beyond  
Java -- if anyone has experience with whatever Obj C tools are  
available in Eclipse and could get involved in the template part I'd  
be more than happy to give you whatever support you'd need.

And of course, let me know if things don't work as advertised. :)

Also, I added Swarmfest 2008 to the openabm.org site -- definetly a  
site worth checking out.
