RE: About Multi-Agent Systems...seeking advice

After several months struggling with Swarm on Windows, I was delighted to discover RePast, which shares the features I found attractive in Swarm with none of the aggravating drawbacks (unfriendliness to Windows and Windows users, hybridized Java, etc. etc.).  I believe you will find RePast a very accommodating framework and community for this type of modeling.  Good luck

Subject: About Multi-Agent Systems...seeking advice

 

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm a doctoral student who is looking at using multi-agent (MA) in examining urban issues such as tax policies. I'm very new to this area of work and have no prior experience with MA.My interests were aroused through reading several papers written on MA's application especially in the social science realm.

 

Is there anyone out there who has the time to share with me his/her experience and perhaps advise me on how I should go about doing my first simulation? I've some familiarity with Visual Basic and am currently studying Java.  

 

Thank you for your time.

 

Regards

Yang
