    MASON Update

    Posted on Wednesday 4 July 2018 by Andrew Crooks

    At the upcoming Multi-Agent-Based Simulation (MABS) workshop, we have a paper entitled “The MASON Simulation Toolkit: Past, Present, and Future” in which we discuss MASON’s development history, its design and (probably more interesting) where MASON is …

    MAIA Framework for ABM

    Posted on Thursday 20 June 2013 by Andrew Crooks

    Looking at frameworks and toolkits to easily create agent-based models, I recntly came across Modelling Agent systems based on Institutional Analysis (MAIA) framework via JASSS. The idea for MAIA is to lower the cost of implementing agent-based models….
