Repast was designed to be an agent-based modeling platform rather than a
multi-agent system environment. However, like some other tools, it can
be used to develop multi-agent systems if you want to do this. The
advantages and disadvantages depend on your chosen application.

We do not yet have a tutorial on how to deploy agents in languages such
as C/C++. You can deploy C/C++ agents in Repast but you will need to use
the Java Native Interface system (JNI)
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Native_Interface) or an equivalent.
This requires some sophistication with software development. I would not
try this if you are just getting started with coding.

Repast sounds suitable for the scenario you have outlined. I am not sure
why the agent decisions need to be made in a language different from
Java but if they really must you can still use Repast. However,
implementing this scenario requires either an stand-alone C/C++
executable or the above-mentioned sophistication with software
development. If you have an executable you may be able to use Repast's
legacy integration toolkit as described here:

http://www.agent2006.anl.gov/2006procpdf/North_Agent_2006.pdf

Otherwise, I would only try to directly mix Repast and C/C++ if you are
comfortable with or willing to learn a technology like JNI.

Subject: [Repast-interest] (no subject)

hi,
i don't get the difference between the different type of agents.  Repast
is not a Multi-agent System, it is not FIPA compliant. 
What is the disadvantege of this? 

Is there any tutorial how to deploy the agents in different
languages(like c++/c) in repast? 

I am absolutelly newbie and want to "simulate" some autonom bahaviour of
agents. I wish, that the agents get some initial setup and then exchange
some information and make some decision(like for example modifying some
internal lists/arrays etc) while they "meet". The decision, they should
make should be in different language(c++/c) and is part of the agent.

Is repast suitable for this scenario? 


thank you
Raul Bada
