[Swarm-Modelling] Major New Repast Java and C++ Beta Releases Are Now Available

[North, Michael]

The Repast Suite is a family of advanced, free, and open source agent-based 
modeling and simulation platforms that have collectively been under continuous 
development for over 10 years.The Repast development team is pleased to 
announce two new major Repast beta releases, namely Repast Simphony 2.0 Beta 
and Repast High Performance Computing 1.0 Beta.

Repast Simphony 2.0 Beta is a richly interactive and easy to learn Java-based 
modeling system that is designed for use on workstations and small computing 
clusters running Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, or Linux. Repast Simphony 
models can be developed in several different forms including the new ReLogo 
dialect of Logo, point-and-click flowcharts, Groovy, or Java, all of which can 
be fluidly interleaved. NetLogo models can now also be imported. Repast 
Simphony has been successfully used in many application domains including the 
social sciences, consumer products, markets, and supply chains just to name a 
few.

Repast High Performance Computing 1.0 Beta is a lean and expert-focused 
C++-based modeling system that is designed for use on large computing clusters 
and supercomputers. It is written in cross-platform C++. It can be used on 
workstations, clusters, and supercomputers running Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac 
OS X, Linux, or Unix. Portable models can be written in either standard or 
Logo-style C++. Repast High Performance Computing has been successfully tested 
for scalability on Argonne National Laboratory's Blue Gene/P system.
