Repast (modeling toolkit)
The Recursive Porous Agent Simulation Toolkit (Repast) is agent modeling toolkit. Repast has multiple pure implementations in several languages and built-in adaptive features such as genetic algorithms and regression.
Repast is a free open source toolkit. It was originally developed by Sallach, Collier, Howe, North and others at the University of Chicago.
