Re: [Swarm-Modelling] Announce: metaABM 1.0.0

[Russell Standish]

I had in mind EcoLab. There really isn't any other C++ ABM around
AFAICT. I'd be interested in giving it a try - it might be the shot
for interoperable agent-based modelling, particularly if the same
model can be quickly reimplemented in Repast or other toolkit.  I'd
certainly be prepared to adapt EcoLab to play nicely if that's needed
:).

I'm not sure why I only received your response just now - seems like a
clot on the internet just broke...

Cheers
