Here is some interesting news. Robert Tobias and Carole Hofmann's = recent "Evaluation of free Java-libraries for social-scientific agent = based simulation" in the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social = Simulation (JASSS)(Vol. 7, No. 1) states that: Despite the problems with the evaluation mentioned above, we can = conclude with great certainty that according to the available = information, RePast is at the moment the most suitable simulation = framework for the applied modeling of social interventions based on = theories and data. It is certainly worth realizing a project in this = framework and then, on the basis of experience gained, and taking into = account the new state of development in the rapidly evolving area of = social simulation, conducting the evaluation again.
