[Swarm-Modelling] Repast Simphony 1.0 is Now Available!

[North, Michael]

The Repast Organization for Architecture and Design (ROAD) is pleased to
announce the release of Repast Simphony 1.0! We thank the Repast core
developers, contributing developers, and supporters for the hard work
that made this release possible!

As many know, Repast Simphony is a free and open source agent-based
modeling toolkit that offers users a rich variety of features including
the following:

1.) An optional point-and-click model development environment that
generates Java classes and seamlessly integrates with hand written Java
and Groovy components.
2.) A pure Java point-and-click model execution environment that
includes built-in results logging and graphing tools as well as
automated connections to a variety of optional external tools including
R, VisAD, Weka, popular spreadsheets, MATLAB, and iReport.
3.) An extremely flexible hierarchically nested definition of space
including the ability to do point-and-click and modeling and
visualization of 2D environments, 3D environments, networks including
full integration with the JUNG network modeling library, and
geographical spaces including full Geographical Information Systems
(GIS) support.
4.) A range of data storage "freeze dryers" for model check pointing and
restoration including text file and database storage.
5.) A fully concurrent multithreaded discrete event scheduler. 
6.) Libraries for genetic algorithms, neural networks, regression,
random number generation, and specialized mathematics. 
7.) Automated Monte Carlo simulation framework which supports multiple
modes of model results optimization. 
8.) Built-in tools for integrating external models. 
9.) Full object-orientation.
10.) A point-and-click model deployment system.
11.) Availability on virtually all modern computing platforms including
Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
