Re: [Repast-developer] repast alive ?

[Robert M. <R.M...@cs...>]

Hi Volker, Hi everyone,

I've never been involved directly with repast development at the cvs level 
but I've spent the last 12 months using it extensively in my PhD research. 

I've been writing some extensions to make it run as an hla-compliant 
distributed simulator. It's still very much a research toy at the moment 
but we have results and the paper is being presented by me this summer at 
the European Simulation Interoperability conference in Edinburgh. We are 
also submitting an extended version to a journal some time soon. If anyone 
has a copy of an HLA runtime infrastructure and would like to play with 
the (non bug-free) distribution libraries I'd be happy to package them up 
and send them out - I guess they would just inherit the RePast GPL.

I certainly hope that the direct developmental community (as in those who
_do_ touch the cvs as opposed to people like me who just tinker with the
api's on their own) has not disintegrated, particularly considering the
popularity of RePast - there are 4 agent researchers in my department
alone who use it on a regular basis.
