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.

Features

  • variety of agents and examples
  • fully object oriented
  • fully concurrent discrete event scheduler
  • built-in simulation results logging and graphing tools
  • allows users to dynamically access and modify agents and model at run time
  • libraries for genetic algorithms, neural networks, etc.
  • built-in systems dynamics modeling
  • social network modeling tools
  • integrated geographical information systems (GIS) support
  • implemented in Java, C#, etc.
  • supports Java, C#, Managed C++, Visual Basic.Net, Managed Lisp, Managed Prolog, and Python scripting, etc.
  • is available on virtually all modern computing platforms
