About

The metaABM project is an ABM meta-model and toolset providing:

Model representation using a neutral, natural and standards-based representation supported through the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF).
Model editing with elegant, visually-focused tools that don't require programming experience or complex configuration.
Modeling environment with tight integration within the Eclipse IDE toolset and tools for experienced programmers and modelers.
Model implementation automatically and transparently generated for Repast Simphony and Ascape with more to come.

metaABM defines and supports a high-level architecture for designing, executing and sytematically studying ABM models. metaABM is not intended as an ABM engine or runtime environment, but as an environment that can leverage those environments in limitless ways. Beyond that, metaABM seeks to provide a common hub that enables developers of ABM tools to avoid duplication of effort and focus on the value that they can add to the overall software ecosystem. The contributors are committed to an open, developer-driven approach and welcome equal participation from other individuals, projects and organizations.
